Ranking and counting down all 792 baseball cards, from worst to best, in a mostly objective manner. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. 635th Place - James Steels.

Here is one classic of an airbrushed card from Topps, the 1977 Manny Sanguillen edition:. Where do we even begin? The collar on his jersey? The paint job on his batting helmet?
