Default Side collection - inappropriate, awkward or infamous cards… your help?

I’ve decided to dedicate one small area of my “card cave” to display a small cache of our hobbies more infamous cards

The Ripken F-Face, Bevaqua’s ‘76 bubble, and unfortunate names are we’re I’m starting. Would love to include some great vintage cards to this display.

What else would you suggest?? Help create my next shopping list!

Jeff

There's a 1988 minor league card with a guy taking a baseball up the groin. Staged, but still funny.

Depictions of African American ballplayers in the 1963 Gad set are pretty stereotypical racist imagery:

The Randy Johnson Marlboro Ad card might fit this theme.
