although I don't think it can own worst overall, there were some gems in 1958. along with this legendary one, I'd add Yogi and Mossi.

I like 1973 because there are a bunch of the behind home plate perspective photos, which are my favorites.

A photographer who worked for Topps during this era told me that Topps had strict film requirements, unfortunately that film, combined with the camera he used, wasn't so great for these action shots. Most of the photographers Topps used preferred the posed still shots.
I remember the George Scott card in 73 had a fake crowd background added in.

Being an expansion year certainly didn't help matters, and the 'dreadshots' were over-the-top plentiful.
Here's what you find with a "1969 Topps Padres" eBay search... 1969padresheadshots.jpg Very hard for a kid to get excited about all of the old man noggins coming out of packs that year.

Casey Stengel Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s. Overpaying yesterday is simply underpaying tomorrow.
