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?

T201 Mecca double folds. My apologies though to anyone who does like em'......
Re: Cards You Couldn't Care Lsss About!
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

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).

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.

Re: Cards You Couldn't Care Lsss About!
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...

Re: Cards You Couldn't Care Lsss About!
I love the t203 set. How can you not love the corny phrases and pictures to go with them?
Re: Cards You Couldn't Care Lsss About!
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.

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

strip card variations
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.

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.
