1987 Donruss Opening Day (Johnny Ray pictured error), goes for like $200.

His "In Action" 1972 card also has him reacting badly to a strikeout.

Not that there's anything wrong with this picture per se, but I find the cropping hilarious.


Here we see Brooks Robinson after falling off his camel, nearly dying while trying to finish crossing the Nafud Desert alone and on foot, just prior to being rescued by Lieutenant Lawrence.


This card gave me nightmares as a kid.


And, of course, the obvious


Finally, basically any card from the 1981 or 1982 Fleer sets. It's like they went through the trashcans of every freelance stringer in Philadelphia and said,"Run that baby!"

1973 Topps Vida Blue. He's not even the most prominent player on his own card.

dang....yall hating on the Hammer. I can still remember being at a game at the K his rookie year. The Hammer (Hamelin) went like 5 for 5 with 2 home runs and my cousin ran up to the souvenir stand and bought 5 of those horribly overpriced Upper Deck team sets (like $20 each) because he thought they were going to be worth a mint.....ahhh memories.

Surprised no 1992 Bowman has showed up yet. Those had some bad photos.

There is a 1999 Upper Deck Ultimate Victory card that I am sure they could have found a better picture to use of Mark McGwire on. My soon to be wife pointed out that he is clearly wearing a jock strap under his uniform. He is standing in the batters box getting ready to take a swing and his rear end couldn't be anymore dead center of the card than it is.

Sure its part of a lot of players uniform, but its a part we really don't need to see. LOL

This card always creeped me out, even more so after he was convicted of being a raper....

Had an image in mind for this thread since it started, but took me a while to find the card. Cards like this one appear from time to time. If you know anything about Body Language, you would know this is not a good look for any person.

you could probably fill at least one binder page with cards like that over the years.

a recent one was a Puig short-print in 2013 Update

Fernando Rodney has a uni swatch card featuring the Big Glove in 2012 Update.

I think there has been another one since Puig's.

The Great Pyramid was behind the photographer.

Reminds me of this classic from Fleer...



I'm going to add this one to the list. This can't be the best photo they had of Jack Morris...
