What popular cards have you never wanted to add to your collection?

Any "Cy Young" card that actually pictures Irv Young. I never understand why people pay so much for these cards.

Was going to make the same comment - why overpay for a common with a popular name??

While it's grown on me somewhat, and I eventually will to complete his "card from every year he played" set, I really don't like the 55 Bowman Mantle.

33 Goudey Gehrig does nothing for me either. I much rather either of his cards from the 34 set.

Completely agree with you... the 33’s are so bland and the 34’s are beautiful, particular the yellow portrait one. I also dislike the Ruth dugout pose in the 33 set, indifferent to the red and yellow background cards, but do love the look of the double printed issue. Oddly enough I think the most aesthetically pleasing cards of the 33 set are common players (e.g. Demaree and Cuccinello) although I think the same somewhat for T206’s (My favorite cards are the Cambitz arm crossed, Jap Barbeau, and by far the Solly Hofman)... I supposed it comes down to personal preference though.

1938 Goudey Heads Up DiMaggio and 1933 DeLong Gehrig.
I just never liked the designs of those sets.

I've never cared for any black & white cards. And believe it or not, I've never cared for the 1915 Cracker Jack issue. I like the 1914 issue, just not the 1915 issue because the "cards" are way too thin - more like magazine cutouts than cards, if you ask me.

'52 Mantle because I missed it before it shot up...

...and any Joe DiMaggio - not a fan

...and the Joe Jackson cards previously mentioned.
