The worst baseball cards in history
I got a kick out of this article. So, what is your opinion of the worst baseball card in history?
I have a couple to nominate. How about the 1978 Topps Greg Minton? It looks like EVERYTHING was airbrushed, including his glasses and his teeth!
How about the 1983 Topps Mike Armstrong? I laugh every time I see that card!
What's yours?

I have to disagree. The Oscar Gamble is on e of the BEST cards in history. The Oscar Azocar is creepy.

Adam, yes, that 66 Mossi pic is altered. While his ears were freakishly large, they weren't that big.

I know this is an old thread (and there are probably some similar ones on here that are newer) but it's the thread I found when I couldn't help but think of it when I was looking at the 1974 Topps/OPC Red Kelly today. Closeup of a giant forehead coupled with an odd sideways glance instead of looking at the camera/photographer; how is it possible that this was the best photo they had available when they needed to finalize the design?

Don Mossi could of used Oscar Gambles hair style to cover his ears.

What's wrong with these? I think they're cool and interesting...what was that party they were doing in the background of the first card anyway?
Now THIS right here is about the ugliest card I've ever seen; it looks like Babe Ruth is wearing lipstick!

Now, ask yourself how many other Hall of Famers look like “Drug Dealer #2” from an episode of Miami Vice, and on their rookie card no less?!?!?

Someone please post a 1983 Topps Mike Armstrong.

Armstrong in later years LOL

Any card with "Prizm" and "Refractor" in the description is hideous, but if it also includes "Purple" then it's the ugliest card ever.
I rest my case.
This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.1 -
am unsure what hudler is doing to the pole or why carr is grinning

Reminds me of Sergeant Taggert from Beverly Hills Cop, who has a pig face, accordingly to Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy).2 -

A public service announcement from Brooks Robinson:

For some reason, Brooks reminds me of Billy Bob Thornton in Slingblade. Great movie BTW. Uhh Huhh...

Actually, this is quite an interesting card. From the looks of it, Steve Garvey just homered, thus, about to cross home plate to shake Wed Parker's hand. Looking at Garvey's Statistics from 1972, he homered 9 times, and in only one of those 9 games, Wes Parker batted behind him. Game was on July 1st, 1972, via Box Score. These are one of those cards, where you can actually pin-point the exact game, inning, etc. I have too much time!

I like it as it’s a unique action shot, but the focus of the card being on the other guy is a head scratcher.

hey stevebay,
something like this...In trying to pinpoint this particular game I can identify Lee Lacey playing 2nd here, Parker playing 1st, appears to be a Phillies base runner. A left handed throwing outfielder (left fielder?). Does anyone have a guess on the venue? Dodger Stadium?

I honestly liked cards that show players in non-uniform settings. Nice change of pace!
