Worst photo on a football card....

Someone recently started a thread with baseball and since I am now trying to create a football interest, decided to start one for football. I'm not a big fan of this facial expression:

I'll go with Frank Emanuel's 1968 Topps card. Don Brumm's 1969 Topps card isn't far behind. Football players really ought to remove their helmets for photos.

They should face the camera too...

Yep, the 60T Unitas card was always a favorite of mine because of that darn haircut!

"Hump? What hump?"

Not to compare him to Marty Feldman, but he does look like an Igor (not eye-gore).

Ironmanfan beat me to the "The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book" reference on the 1960 card.

Always thought this photo was a strange choice, when I was a kid I remember feeling sorry for him because he probably just missed a FG

This one is 48% bad, 52% awesome:

I think I need to put the 1972 OPC CFL set on my to do list...

ShootyBabitt · July 19, 2011 11:02AM

Catch!

ShootyBabitt · July 19, 2011 11:07AM

Does my hair look OK? Do you think anyone can tell that I'm going bald?

DamageInc · July 19, 2011 11:28AM

<< Catch!

It's JAWS from James Bond as a QB!!

Good stuff guys. Love the retro looks Shooty!

I nominate that Proline Portraits cards shouldn't really count as football cards for the intent of this thread.

I think the worst photo is the 1989 Pro-set Don Beebe card.
Maybe someone can post a pic here.

Because it is not Jim Taylor of the Packers on his Rookie card. It is Jim Taylor of the Cardinals.

Details details!

.....
If you've seen one Jim Taylor ya seen em all!

I vote for this one. Definitely not a nice shot of Unitas.
