1990 Score Paul Gibson with the shortstop scratching his nuts in the BG is a classic.

I don't have a scan, but I've always liked the Zeenut Paul Waner with the 1920s cars in the background.

An early 20th Century symbol of prosperity, the smokestack. A near constant symbol of futility, the St. Louis Browns.

I always liked the unique look of this one, almost like a Giant Ruth is standing on the field.

The background on this French Jack Johnson card has always intrigued me.
Just a bunch of dudes in tuxedos looking on with another boxer leaning in to make sure he gets in the photo.
Out of the boxing cards, the T220's have the most interesting backgrounds however. From farms, to plantations to billiard halls, the artwork is great.

The 1926 Zeenut of Mitchell is a poor man's (especially this one that I found on the web) Waner--check on the left side.
