Default Interesting Backgrounds on cards
I'm going to use a couple of off-topic cards to ask for on-topic cards.

Note the hotel in the background of this Rogers Staubach card


1978 Topps - [Base] #290 - Roger Staubach [NM]
Courtesy of COMC.com

And them, this is better known. Note the Cadillac (it was his) in the background of this Jim Brown card.


1964 Philadelphia - [Base] #30 - Jim Brown [EX]
Courtesy of COMC.com

Now please show me some pre-war cards with interesting backgrounds

Thanks!
Rich

Sticking with the T209-2 theme. Im sure this is one of the first ever photobombs and makes for a pretty unique background.

The most infamous card background of all time of course. The White Elephant.

I also like the Helmar Boston Garter Matty and Mendez that show an assault in the background.
