1967 Topps Braves team design anomaly

[geosluggo]

The 1967 Topps baseball set is one of my favorites with its simple, photo-dominated design. For the team cards, however, Topps continued its practice of cropping a photo of the group of players and putting it against a solid-color background. The lone exception was the Atlanta Braves team card, #477, which shows a full photo of Hank Aaron and the gang in the brilliantly sunlit outfield of the old West Palm Beach Municipal Stadium. It's far nicer-looking than the rest of the 1967 team cards and it's more consistent with the design of the base cards. I've always wondered why this is the only team card in the set that looks that way. If anyone knows the backstory, please enlighten me.
