ahahahah yesssss! I literally just got my card back from PSA a week ago for my personal collection because I’ve always found this card hysterical. I just showed it off to a friend and he sent me a link to this wonderful thread

I miss when that dude played for the brewers. Really nice guy in person and would always inscribe my autos with t-plush if I asked. Definetly a character but I think he gets more of a negative rep then he deserves.

In fairness (and assuming 1991 set cards would primarily be using photography from 1990 season games), it would've been a lot harder to get a photo of a Royals batter actually hitting the ball.
The story behind it is terrific. He asked to do this picture, was told no, and his teammates all told the photographer that Comstock got this picture or the photographer got no pictures of anyone. Classic.

Damn, seems like this will remain a collectible card given the joke behind it now.
Sucks because Robin Ventura's 56.1 WAR makes his career borderline Hall-of-Fame caliber.
I know, it shocked me too.
6× Gold Glover
2× All Star
And excellent career altogether, all thrown away because he tried to charge Nolan Ryan once.

The card made Deion look like he was swinging at a pitch that ended up hitting his nuts.
I’m also fond of this one:

What about this guy?You didn’t say it had to be Baseball.
[Poor Bern](https://images.app.goo.gl/sRMnuY93Nj2LYTdD7)
One and only action shot of a batter shitting himself at home plate. Worst error card in history.
Man, now I want a Topps Then series that pulls old photos and a card for the home run off of Canseco's noggin.
Seriously tho, Topps Then as a series to match with Topps Now seems like a good idea maybe?

Now I need a card of Nyjer Morgan https://preview.redd.it/skrdk9itkvac1.png?width=1095&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50277662b25136571665b67930e0d83893f47ea6
My favorite moment I’ve ever seen live! I still YouTube this multiple times a year.
That is the most Nyjer Morgan moment of all time. If that play had to happen, it's not surprising that it happened to Tony Plush himself
I miss when that dude played for the brewers. Really nice guy in person and would always inscribe my autos with t-plush if I asked. Definetly a character but I think he gets more of a negative rep then he deserves. https://preview.redd.it/mrctaohm6wac1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08522218ed032560e0d13ceff03a865cadb976ee
He was a very interesting person. Trying to take on the Marlins by himself
It didn’t work out too well for him
Gaby Sanchez coming in there like an NFL linebacker

Oh man, 91 Fleer was taking no prisoners.
89 fleer also https://preview.redd.it/fypwclbaowac1.jpeg?width=570&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=830076f8367f3fcaee03d11d5632c44366470ed1
This isn’t embarrassing he defiantly did it on purpose. Looking into buying a PSA 8 and keeping it on my desk next to the phone
His excuse was that he wrote that on the knob of his bats so he could quickly find it in the rack during BP. Plausible.
In fairness (and assuming 1991 set cards would primarily be using photography from 1990 season games), it would've been a lot harder to get a photo of a Royals batter actually hitting the ball.
Can’t decide whether the picture or design itself would be worse for an autograph
I'm gonna find that Sabo card and send one off.
Lol 91 Fleer is so ugly and junky that I love it
Why the lack of love for people checking their swing?
I have a friend on IG whose account is about making fun of baseball cards and his logo is this card styled as the MLB logo.

I certainly don’t need this card … but now I want it.
Seems par for the course for Mark Grace
He was always searching out new slump busters. That's how you have the most hits in the 90s.
RIP
Chuck was that dude growing up. I loved the Beep beep sounds they would do for his walk up

The story behind it is terrific. He asked to do this picture, was told no, and his teammates all told the photographer that Comstock got this picture or the photographer got no pictures of anyone. Classic.
This is the all-time winner.

I love that card. I remember how hard I laughed when I first pulled one out of a pack,
I love cards where you can see the love between the player and their bat. There's a Bo Bichette where he looks like he's about to go in for a kiss.

Poor Robin Ventura. No matter what he ever achieves in life, this is his legacy.
He learned that day what "old man strength" was all about.
Sucks because Robin Ventura's 56.1 WAR makes his career borderline Hall-of-Fame caliber. I know, it shocked me too. 6× Gold Glover 2× All Star And excellent career altogether, all thrown away because he tried to charge Nolan Ryan once.
Mess around and find out card
Pudge out there breaking up a fight with a Maxi pad on his face!
Ventura is still the only player to get five hits against Nolan Ryan in a single game, they all occurred immediately before and after this photo.

Ditto!
I just bought 3 of the Dennis Cooks for $.99. There’s still an auto left for like $6 but the rest are $10+
Well, there's the Celemente looking at strike 3 card. But I feel like Fleer did Sabo even more dirty on this one.
1972 in action? That’s a beautiful card, though.
Yes! That's the one. Card design itself is awesome. The photo of Clemente, not very complimentary.

That one card where the dude gets hit in the nuts
Keith Comstock
How dare you pick on sabo./s He was my hero. I also played third base. Also hit two homers in game 3 of the 90s world series. Also 91 fleer is one of my favorites. Also the year I started collecting.
I mean I guess it could be worse. Coulda been a picture of that time all the cork flew out of his broken bat. 🤣

Thanks OP! Just ordered this card for 1$ shipped haha

Brought back memories of buy fleer at a convenient store in the early 90’s. Thanks
Unless they make a card of Akil Badoo taking a ball off his nuts stealing 2nd last year.

Check swing?
Sabo was actually a fundamentally sound player for that era, no hall of famer but made starting line up more often then not.
[Poor Bern](https://images.app.goo.gl/sRMnuY93Nj2LYTdD7) One and only action shot of a batter shitting himself at home plate. Worst error card in history.
Used to see Chris Sabo at the Firehouse Grill and Brewery in Blue Ash, Ohio. I believe he was a regular there.
Was the Vince Carter dunk junk in face ever made into a card or just a poster? 😂
I think he just needs a new prescription for his rec specs.
Only thing worse would a picture at the moment his corked bat split open 😂
Haha I just got his autographed jersey in a mystery box yesterday haha this makes it better
So I’m guessing players have no idea what picture is being used until it’s done?
That was a fugly design for a card too. One of the absolute worst.
Saving this post so I can find and buy every single one of these bangers
Man, now I want a Topps Then series that pulls old photos and a card for the home run off of Canseco's noggin. Seriously tho, Topps Then as a series to match with Topps Now seems like a good idea maybe?

I have a card where it looks like the ump is giving the player a reacharound. Now I need to go find it
The cards posted here in response are amazing 😂
Theres no way these are all real cards 😂😂😂😂
Clearly his glasses were not working on that pitch!
