Default US Caramel
For whatever reason, I find the US Caramel set visually unappealing.

T205

...the ugly step-sister of T206.

Actually, I'll take all of the "T" designations (with exception to the dreadful T207) to the T206 set. I agree about E91.

I was wondering how long it would take before someone dropped T207 into the conversation! Never gets any love. Fine by me - those that are out there go further.

If you asked 'ugliest HOF'er card', outside of the E91 debacle set, I would choose the T207 Johnson - especially ugly when the registration is off.

And to the guy who said T205 - I blast forth a virtual raspberry.

Point made, Scott.

Of all the cards in the set, Johnson's got to be the butt-ugliest, even if the registration is spot on.

Default E91's...butt ugly or butt beautiful?
The E91's may be ugly to most collector's eyes, but at least a good chunk of them were based on actual photo images of the player's face, as illustrated in the following article.

They definitely became more attractive to me once I researched into them.

Default Ugly ducklings: W9316
The 10-card W9316 set stands out for its crudity. My post on #5 includes scan links for most of the others, all ugly.

I would nominate the Cole as ugly as any in that set

T205... where you can see pasty heads float among a sea of "gold"...

At least T206 portraits had the decency to include a pair of shoulders...

T205 is probably my favorite set from this era, they are beautiful and while I have only owned one T204 it is quite nice though a bit plain. I really love the T206s too.

I think this is fun, it just shows that we all have different tastes.

Many of those strip cards are ugly but they reflect the art of the times, check out some 1915-35 comic strips, really ugly by today's standards.
