I'm trying to find the ugliest Reds
card in my collection. All sorts of wonderful cards get showcased on all of
our blogs. It's time to recognize the hideous. The grotesque. The plain
old ugly. You'll find 90's inserts, disembodied heads, disinterested
mugshots, and the 1980's. Here are my selection rules:
1. Reds only. Not even multi-team-including-a-Red ugliness. There shall be just Reds ugly.
2. Do not confuse nostalgia with non-ugliness. I love those gaudy 90's inserts as much as you do. I was a 90's child. But man are some of them ugly.

3. Do not confuse boring with ugly (hello, early 80's Fleer)
4. Upon viewing, I must have said "Ew." Or "Ugh." Or any variant thereof.
Unfortunately, some of the ugliness was too ugly for my scanner, due to
glare. Good thinking, if you're ugly, to sabotage the machinery.
I will most definitely be offending some of you with my choices. I am eager to hear about it in the comments.

Tourney setup:
Opening Round: 10 rounds of 10 ugly cards each. Vote for 5. Top 6 move on.
Brackets: Seed the 60 "victors" of the Opening Round into a classic single elimination bracket, with the top 4 vote-getters receiving a bye.
