Score it the stepchild of baseball cards. For the most part, they were ugly, cheap and no one ever wanted them. This was a hard list to put together only because there was so much ugly. They started in 88 during the craze and tried to find the laziest way to make cards without caring what they looked like.
7) 91 Score
What a pick right? Sadly the designs on these cards are so ugly they distract from the photos taken within them.
6) 88 Score
5) 89 Score
As you see, they barely improved the next year. Though still ugly, it beats the previous two mentioned on this list.
Mediocre was the goal with this company it appears. I remember the packs of cards always being super cheap and you could tell just by looking at them. Some real stinkers from this company.
They moved away from "ugly" and into "irrelevant. With a design so boring it's scream "playing it safe" on every card.
Not a bad look. I can see what they were shooting for here but just didn't quite pull it off. It's like a girl you see a headshot of and think she's pretty only to meet her in person and realize, it was just a really nice pic and she's more middle of the road instead.
Not really that it was a good looking set but it took risk and gave us classic cards like the one of Bo featured here. Believe it or not, out of all the years, this is the one I had the most of in my collection because I thought some of the cards looked unique and stood out. I never completed the set, but even today, I bet I could nab one for cheap online.
Have a good weekend folks!
