1956 Topps includes two cards with different paintings of the same action shot, #91 Gail Harris and #171 Jim Wilson, likely as a production mistake for two cards that occupied the same spot on series one and two print sheets.

The repainted #1 scooting under a high throw appears to be either Richie Ashburn (red cap) or Pee Wee Reese (blue cap), with Giants first baseman Whitey Lockman as the actual fielder shown. Went into more detail on this here: https://www.number5typecollection.co...wilson-if.html
