I will never agree with the popularity of this set (and especially this one). Especially since most other Jackies show a great smile or resemblance of him.

It's even worse than the usual children-like quality '48 Leaf drawings and poses. His expression, the horribly done extra blackface, the rest of the card's coloring....

I'm a fan of Connie Mack's cards, except for this one. I traded it away a while ago.

That's the "Mack on the Toilet" pose.

T206 Bill Burns with glove on wrong is my least favorite, they tried to correct the same image on his T3 Turkey Red but all they ended up doing was adding another finger and making it look like Burns had polydactyly. It is all I see when I look at those cards.

How about the Satchel Paige from this set? Why would they chose a photo with his eyes closed?! Every time I see it, I get irritated

Unfortunately, bad photos on cards aren't limited to the days "when it was just a game."

2019 Topps Now #32, Pete Alonso. You can't see his face or uniform number, so you have to take Topps' word for it that the guy in the photo really is the "Polar Bear."

They did this with Tyler Stephenson this year. It was unbelievable that his first hit (a HR) only had a picture taken of the back of his head. Luckily his second Topps Now card was much better circling the base paths.

If I didn't know any better I'd say he kinda looks like David Wright almost.
