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

[x2drich2000]

So what cards that most people want in their collection have you personally never had a desire to own? For me, I've never had a desire to own any of the 33 Goudey Ruths.

I will go with the 52T Mantle, any T206 Cobb and any Goudey Ruth. I realize those are all iconic cards, but they are way too common to get me excited. Most of my excitement in the hobby is derived from seeing a card pop up for the first time in several years.

N172 Old Judge, SF Hess, any other albumen photo small card. I just don't like the way they look. Cabinets are entirely different; love those.

Any T206 rarer back: I just don't care about backs unless I am selling.

The E90-1 Jackson: good call on that FUGLY card. So are most of the 'drawing' E cards. They just don't hold a candle to the T cards. The ones I think are actually nice looking are few and far between, like some of the e95s.

1933 Goudey Gehrig. Looks generic to me. Same with the Foxx.

1955 Bowman and 1962 Topps: do not like the wood bordered designs.

1953 Topps: with very few exceptions, the artwork doesn't do it for me.

1948 Leaf Paige and Robinson. Marquee cards that are just lousy looking.

I have never had any interest in collecting the 1903 Breisch Williams E-107 set.

The prices have always been super high, and the cards simply never excited me.

+1. Eddie, you pretty much expressed my sentiments. Very scarce and rare cards are what excite me the most.

Any lithographic card, including T206s.

Wouldn't say I would turn it down if someone offered it to me for a dollar...but I think the card is ugly and would be low on my want list of Joe Jackson cards (T210 my #1 pick)...so that would probably be my answer as well

1935 Goudey 4 in 1 Ruth

Dislike the image and no longer on the yankees.

‘48 leaf Jackie and ‘58 Brooks Robinson. Worst photos i have ever seen chosen for cards.

I don’t like the E95 set- I don’t like the Wagner pose and hate the way Cobb
looks; I think he looks like kind of Gollum (the hobbit) and an old time ship captain. I also don’t like Colgan’s Chips.

1953 Bowman Pee Wee Reese

I just have never liked this card and don't see the appeal at all. Sorry to those who love it.

Nice card Pete!

Couldn’t agree with you more on the 58 Brooks and disagree with you more on the 48 Jackie. I always found that Brooks card as one of the funniest I’ve ever seen! Looks like a child whose angry over having to eat broccoli lol. The picture doesn’t match the character of the man in it at all. The Jackie to me though is iconic through and through. It’s probably not the greatest picture of him but it’s certainly nowhere in the same league as the Brooks.

Looks like the lost Manning brother in that photo.

I too dislike rookie cards shared with other players. I also have hated that collared shirt on the 1958 Robinson. Not crazy about the 1963 Musial either. The weird facial expression does not reflect his personality.

Richard - I have enjoyed this thread and rather than hijack it, I will start a similar thread with a kind-of opposite subject, 'What do you consider your most Aesthetically pleasing card?'
