Most dignified football card


My choice for most dignified-looking card would have to be the 1971 Topps Errol Mann. Now, as a kicker, good old Errol never scored a touchdown; but if he did, just by looking at this card you can tell he would never have done an annoying endzone dance or showboated at all after his touchdown, like all those guys do today, as if it were their first time ever to score; Errol would have calmly, and with great dignity, merely handed the ball to the ref. Go, Errol! It's never too late to make a comeback & join that 1000-point club - you are so close!

The Naughtiest Baseball Card of All Time?




What's the naughtiest baseball card of all time? My choice would have to be the 1972 Topps Billy Martin card, in which Billy is casually shooting the finger as he grips the knob of the bat.

I'm sure he's not intending that finger for you and me because, by the look on his face and in his eyes, he had probably worked up a big-time irritation for the photographer, just like he did way back when with his own pitcher Dave Boswell ... or with Reggie Jackson ... or with Jim Brewer ... or with Clint Courtney, just to name four guys he tusselled with.


See the card here.
