I highlight the editing Topps did to the original background photograph (that GasHouseGang posted). Pretty cool stuff (and it took me for frickin' ever to find that particular thread, so hit the link, dammit!!).
Nice work Darren. Those 3 stiffs to the side of Mickey's head have bothered me in the past, and now know where they came from.

And am I the only one bothered by the white outlines around Mickey's noggin (as seen in the rest of 1956 Topps cards as well)? The 1955 set minus this outlining and with a solid background is much less cluttered and more aesthetically appealing in my eyes.

Brian (token 1955 cards shown to highlight the difference that a 'blended' superimposed portrait with solid background makes)
