1953 Topps Harry Dorish
 

Has anyone ever noticed the ballpark signs in the background of this card? I've owned this card for 60 years and just saw it tonight.

Same situation with the Spencer, Byrd, Pierce, Benson and Wall cards. There are even two cards with Topps Gum on the background billboards.

Funny how seemingly obvious things in a card's background can escape us. Look no further than the '64 Ray Sadecki. There was only one kid in the neighborhood who noticed. How did we all miss that?

I've got all those cards and never noticed a thing. Talk about tunnel vision.

Mind...blown!

Appreciate you all sharing this info.

Gerry Dvorak had a puckish sense of humor.

This one amused me out of the pack too:

My wife says we are all a bunch of ten-year old kids. She's right!

Wow! That's awesome. I'd never seen those. I started checking my collection and just noticed this in the background of my '51 Mantle.

Jarrod, I checked and my 51 Mantle doesn't have that. You must have a rare variation that should be worth even more than the recent crazy prices these are selling for.

Excellent! I thought it was special enough with the rare "three roller marks", but now this?? I'm retiring.

There is a variation of the Paul Gibson card in which the guy in the background is missing his right arm

Crazy! I know what I will be doing as soon as I get home: looking at my 53 set!

I went and looked up the other 1953 Topps mentioned. None of them are as good as the original card posted. But the Byrd is the next best example.

I've always wondered what the heck was going on in the background of Cass Michaels' 1952 card...

Now I can't not see it.

Huh...
 

That looks like the rare variation where the Griffith Stadium ground crew finished off rolling out the tarp with a beheading of Louis XVI for the amusement of Senators fans. Nice catch.:)

Bob---thanks for posting those
