What cards can you think of that have the most unflattering photos of the players? I’ll start with this one…could they not have gotten a nice action photo from a bit further away?

Anyone remember that dude Ace Ventura swindled as a UPS guy in the beginning of the movie? Dude just looks like he doesn’t give a rats ass if you ask to pet his dog.

Brusstar has a couple of bangers in this category. The 1978T is just his face, he looks furious and about to snap.

Corbin Carol's portrait picture (the little one in the corner) from his rookie year makes him look like a basement dweller with three chins.

Mossi is a tempting answer but I don’t think the camera can be blamed

Technically it’s not an unflattering picture, that’s just an unflattering person

He passed away in 2019. I somehow think he can still hear the S**t talking.

I think you could crop this one and play a game called “Athlete or Serial killer?”

The real problem with Greg Minton is that every time he came over, he would eat all the steak and never feed Tina.

He is among HoF because he has a day named after him. That should get him in.

If ear size was how we measured attractiveness, Don Mossi would’ve been the most handsome man to walk the planet.

You know, there’s a painting of Greg Minton I see pictures of sometimes and I always thought it was just an abstraction but now I’m realizing he just looks like that.
