Default Most Unique T206 Card With a Building or Stadium in the Background.

After collecting 49 T206 cards, and viewing every card in the set, I have realized some cards have very interesting backgrounds with buildings or stadiums in them. Which card(s) with these buildings/stadiums do you find the most unique? Please feel free to share the images of the card.

Default stadium background...........

Here's a few T206's with stadium backgrounds. I think my favorites are Al Burch, Del Howard and Orval Overall (the Joss is no longer mine).

Default buildings

This one always looked out of place to me...doesn't look much like a "baseball" related building in the background

That building is really weird-looking - kind of Stonehenge-ish.

Default T206 buildings

Now if somebody could identify those buildings that would be interesting!

Forget about the flags on stadiums. Can anyone identify the building on Joss, Burch or Clancy?

Obviously not a T206 but wouldn't it be great to have a big League Ballpark in your back yard.

@TheBig6 Although it is not a t206 card, it is an obviously beautiful card!

Same here! I purchased a Willetts card a few months back and I thought at first someone drew on the card. I wonder what it is.

Willetts 2 pole could be the very first set of high power lines coming probably from spike shannon's industrial power plant

I actually didn't see them as towers. I thought they were gaps between vertical boards in a fence that ran about as high as his glove. Very interesting either way.
