Oddities in Topps cards
In following up another members question about the 53 Topps card(s) with an ad for Topps Chewing gum placed in the background I started to wonder what other cards made by Topps had unusual backgrounds.
I like to collect cards with interesting stories along with the big stars. I have some and know of some that I'll get but what wlse am I missing? I know (now) of the 53's with "Topps" in the background as well as The Jackie Robinson with the Brooklyn bridge, #69 Dick Brodowski with the night game at Fenway, 1969 Rodriguez "bat bay" card, etc. Please list (or show) any others. I find these types (minus the Robinson), easily affordable and interesting. Thanks for the help. Drew

The 57 Aaron has the picture reversed.
And there are a couple cards where the player has the glove on the wrong hand. I just don't recall which ones. Apparently it was a fairly common thing to play pranks on the photographers. Steve B

Topps Oddities In Background
The 57 Mantle has the ghost man at the end of his bat. The card can be found with different degrees of the airbrushing effort to remove him.
The 52 Zernial with the 6 baseballs stuck to his bat Last edited by ALR-bishop; 11-15-2011 at 09:19 AM.

Dave Bennet's bio is one for the ages.

sort of fit
These sort of fit as I collect misprints and errors, and not sure this fits here, but they are neat...I posted this in a thread on the main board but they really go better on this side...

Oddities
The Sadecki and Bennett cards are great.
Leon..I have a couple of 52s and 58s with the over/multiple images, including a 58 Herrera which is much more interesting then my boring 58 Herrer

1953 Topps #36 Jim Hearn
I don't have my copy of the card anymore, but I always enjoyed the "No Betting" written on the wall in the background.
