Is this the worst baseball card EVER?

Yes, I’m still alive. Been spending time lurking a few card-related forums and scouring eBay and CheckOutMyCards.com to see what cards may one day enter my collection. In the meantime, here is one card that I ran into that was produced during the “glory days” of baseball cards. It is from 1990 and it shows a very young Ken Griffey Jr. holding a very large card in his hand. The card is of course, his iconic 1989 Upper Deck “rookie”.

This card makes me wonder … is this the worst baseball card ever made? From the non-uniform shot which ironically, Upper Deck has been using for their current crop of cards, to the ridiculous pre-Photoshop disaster in Kenny’s hand — everything about this card screams ODDBALL. You should be able to find one of these for less than a dollar at any dead card show in your area.

If anyone knows of any card uglier than this one, by all means, share.
