Default Just for fun -- Card Trivia

Was going through ebay tonight trying to finish a set and noticed one of the cards has someones house in the background. This struck me as a unique oddity for some reason so thought i would ask the question. Can anyone name a Topps card that has a house in the background, heck for all i know there may be several?

Also, curiouscurious what other post war cards you think has a unique backdrop?

I believe it is the '64 Philly Jim Brown that has the car he won as MVP in the background.

Not sure it's someone's home, but this is the one I remember:

Looks like Ken had this picture taken soon after being promoted to Indians manager in the backyard of his home in Maryland during the winter (based on the lack of foliage on trees). You can see in the background what could be his neighbors house .

My guess is the house behind Norm is somewhere near the Tiger's spring training complex in Lakeland FL...wonder if that house is still there?

Okay, not a house. But I guess you could live in your car...

These are great. I need to start a collecrion of cards with odd item backgrounds.
The 1972 Ken Aspromonte is the card that I was referring to. Pretty neat to have your house on a baseball card.
