What are some of the worst photos of a HOFer on one of his original issue cards?

My vote is the '58 Topps Brooks Robinson. So unfortunate...

    This would be so easy if only Rowland Office were in the Hall.

    How about the 1973 Topps Reggie Jackson?

    Yeah this pic is brutal!

    I bet when he sees this card he wants to scream!

    I know certain athletes won't sign certain items and this would go on that list!

    The '61 cards of Banks and Mays are pretty dreadful.

    Yea, that Willie card is rough! And Brooks! Wow! Looks like photo guy hit the button just as he was breaking into a full-on 5 year old whine & cry session.

    I don't have a scanner handy but the 1983 Donruss card for Willie Stargell was not the most flattering, and not because of his facial expression.

    I agree that the '58 Brooks is #1. IMO, coming in at #2...

    What makes the '58 Brooks so mystifying is that his RC features one of the best looking pictures ever for a future HOFer's baseball card.

    I have always thought this was a strange card. It looks like a high school yearbook photo or something. I picture the photographer saying "OK Nellie, show me intellectual."

    Ha! Nellie Fox's photos always look funny as he consistently has the biggest chew in that I've ever seen.

    Reggie looks like he's desperate to gun the runner down so he can head to the bathroom!

    How about a picture of a HoFer committing a fielding error, or swinging and missing?

    Or a HOFer massaging his bat as if it were an oversized phallus, a la the '73 Rose.
