Vintage backgrounds: 1972 Topps: wheels on the field

One theme I noticed going through the '72 Topps set was that there was a lot of wheeled equipment in the backgrounds on these cards.

The Greg Luzinski card is a pretty popular one, for what looks like a shopping cart full of bats.


It's actually a wheeled rack, almost like a shopping cart, and can be seen more clearly on Gail Hopkins's card.


You can see a tractor on the field behind Frank Reberger.


Looks like one behind Dalton Jones too.


Is that a golf cart behind Marty Perez?


Finally, everyone loves a parking lot card. Jesus Alou's got a pretty good one that fits this theme pretty well.

  2. Having never seen it before, Reberger's tractor is my favorite here.
