Looks kind of like one of those plastic outfield fence walls that they install on little league fields to reduce the size of the outfield for smaller kids. Or could have been used on a Spring Training field.

I think I can answer this one definitively!

Oh, and if anyone has images of the original pictures of 1952 Topps cards - I'm always interested in seeing those!

Thanks for posting the picture SMPEP

As an aside, I bet going through life with the name Wambsganss was interesting.

I love the backgrounds on the 52's, especially the first 3 or 4 series. Take a look at Luke Easter, Howie Pollet or Earl Torgeson for example.

You know, like I mentioned above, I have never really paid a lot of attention to the background of a lot of cards.
I have noticed some, however, with other players/people behind the main focus player and often wondered who they were at times?

A lot of 52's are just portrait type cards with a solid background color but some are definitely interesting, like this Bobby Morgan card. A travel trailer in the background?
I like the ones that show ballparks/diamonds the best, like these Cass Michaels and Dale Mitchell cards.

One of my favorite cards!

As a right handed batter, the image appears to show Jensen in full swing, with the bat in the background slow motion. The bat being at the far right, then almost above, and lastly the follow thru swing.

My 2 cents though....
