cards I hate...

[zork1974]

Someone want to fill me in on the unpopularity of the E91 set? I think they're o.k...

[chaddurbin]

DK,

why so much hate? i love your e90-1 jax and e92 croft blue back wagner!

edit: i just bid $500 on this card, what do you think DK, smart investment if it ends there or still too much?

[Bicem]

I hate Old Judge cards that have images so light you can just barely make out the player. Not a fan of the pink tinted ones either.

The E90-1 Jackson is purple...I love purple.

How about this W516 2-2 of Cobb? I am not sure whether he is holding a glove or returning a book to the library since his "glove" is in the wrong hand. Correct me if I am wrong but didn't Cobb bat as a lefty but threw with his right?

[rhettyeakley]

Check out the IFC credit in the corner, it is backwards, so the card has been reversed. So you are correct he does have the glove on the wrong hand.

I assume it's the generic poses that don't depict the actual players in the set that turns off collectors.

Aw man. Why so much hate on the Black Sox and the E90-1 Joe? These cards are great.

I think black sox collecting and Joe Jackson collecting are awesome. I just don't care for his e90-1.....I think I am almost the only one (or only one that will come out of the closet about it) that doesn't care for it. Chocolate vs vanilla. I don't think it's a "bad" card.....I don't care for the look of it, is all. Hey, I'm partially color blind, and have been (rightfully) accused of selective hearing, so what do I know?

[Matt]

Leon - I'm also partially colorblind and I also don't like the "noseless" Joe Jackson. Maybe it looks better to people who can see the full spectrum.

E254 Colgan Chips/ Red Borders/ Tin Tops

(Not fond of undersized round cards.)

F50 Tharp / Harrington / Yuengling / Sweetman / etc.

(These are not horrible, but the images are recyled in 6 + sets.)

E91

(Images are recycled and do not look like the players depicted)

D355 Niagara Baking / E98 Old Put / E94 overprints

(Hate the overprints that were done after the actual production process.)

[chiprop]

Quan- good investment... Yes at $500.00 --------- Ugly? Yep!!

I love the fact that some don't find the allure of blacksox players. Stay away! Sometimes we make fun of that which we don't understand. Kinda like the difference between a t206 with a 460 rather than a 360 back. HU? Now a Marten's, Victory, and red Croft's I understand.

Wes- I'm with you. I owned a few overprints, and they just don't do it for me. Not worth the premium and too easily reproduced.

Agreed. And the E90-1 Jackson is so ugly that it is almost beautiful. I love the card and it is a true iconic image in our hobby.
