Cards You Couldn't Care Lsss About!

We all have our favorite cards/sets to collect...for whatever reasons...visual appeal, players represented, year of issue. On the other hand there are cards I could not care less about...like the 1933 Uncle Jacks...I don't know why...they're supposed to be tough...so what...I don't like em. What cards/sets couldn't you guys care less about?

MP&Co cards. Hideously ugly. Enough said

rare backs, I know... sorry!

T201 Mecca double folds. My apologies though to anyone who does like em'......

I like them. You get the funky shared legs thing going on and they were the first set of cards with stats on them. The isn't that great, but it's not bad either. Favorite card, Falkenberg-Lajoie

Those colored strip cards

Black & White cards, with M116s close behind, they never have done anything for me. And I'm not sorry just one less set I am not tempted to spend my money on.

I've also never been a fan of M116's. The pastel colors just look really washed out to me. The blue backgrounds are a little better.

E98's are the most boring caramel set in my opinion. Not a fan of the single color backgrounds, they look flat (I guess you could say the same for e93/e94 too). Also there aren't many interesting poses in the e98 set (except Matty).

Zeenuts for me

Same here.

Blank-back cards in those sets where ad-back cards exist - e.g., M101-4/5, E135, etc.

Wish I could think of something, but I like everything as long as they're old. PCL, Exhibits, Strip Cards, Portraits, Caramels, Tobacco, Magazine, Bread, Non-sports.

Just don't ever give me a modern card.

I'm with Rob. Still, my ten "least favorite" prewar issues are, not necessarily in order:

1. all color strip cards other than w514
2. the ice cream sets of 1928
3. 1941 double play
4. S&S game
5. Schutter-Johnson
6. Overland Candy
7. 4in1 exhibits
8 e91 B (most) and C (all)
9. black & white Chicago team sets
10. t203, if considered baseball cards

Forgot Baguer chocolates

No offense to those who like and collect these--I would gladly accept examples into my collection, and have some already.

I would also have to say the Play Ball sets, especially the 1939's. For some reason I have never liked them - I don't think I have ever owned a single one.

I agree with Todd on his list too - especially the Overland candy. The prices those things get always amaze me; aren't they basically crude drawings on wrappers? Pass...

I love the t203 set. How can you not love the corny phrases and pictures to go with them?

I don't collect Exhibits and have no intention of doing so (again, no offense to those that do). At present, I also don't collect postcards, but I am open to obtaining some for my collection if the right ones came along for the right price. But in general, the parameters of my collection don't extend to Exhibits and postcards.

canadian issues. i collect baseball cards because they're a part of american history and americana and depict an american game...i just can't get into those V nielsons or wwwg etc. give me the good ole american caramels or us goudeys.

no disrespect to our canadian mods (active or retired)

edit: not to mention women baseball player cards ...no explanation needed! (don't think there's anyone i can offend here...maybe joann )

I have never been a fan of any of the 'game' cards.

strip card useless sets; w551's if you already collect w514's (same drawings), or the three different variations of w516's (pick one please). Are ever so slight deviations really different, or more importantly, unique?

I have to say.... T206 set, I like cards that show players who actually look like the real players. 90% of that set look like a 9 year old sketched them....

Compared to M116 set which the artist got 99.9% right on, the Wagner M116 looks much better than T206 Wagner.

Whoops! I mean typeset deviations; not color, or pose variations

I could never figure out how the Hulswitt card made the set, that definately looks like a Wcard and none of the others do.

If someone has a scan please post.

Lee

what Hulswitt card are you looking for a scan of? what set?

Whoops, T206 Hulsitt
