1962 Topps #566 Marty Kutyna
The back shorts his early minor league record by a game: it gives him 34 wins for 1953 and 1954 combined, when the two seasons actually added up to 35.
Uncorrected error: The back says he won 34 games in 1953 and 1954 combined - it was 35
About Marty Kutyna
The Senators opened a new home at D.C. Stadium in 1962, and Kutyna spent the whole year strictly in relief: 54 appearances, no starts, 78 innings, a 5-6 record and a 4.04 ERA for a team that finished 60-101. He took the ball in the majors for the last time on September 22 of that season. Card #566 is a short-printed high number from the seventh series. The back credits him with 34 wins across his first two minor league seasons; the real total is 35, 17 wins in 1953 and 18 in 1954, so the printed figure is one win light.
Marion John Kutyna, born in Philadelphia on November 14, 1932, was a right-handed pitcher who came out of the city's North Catholic High School and signed with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1953. He broke in fast, winning 17 games in his first professional season and 18 in his second, but he never reached the majors as a Cardinal: on December 5, 1957, St. Louis packaged him off to the Cincinnati Redlegs in the trade that brought young center fielder Curt Flood to the Cardinals. Kutyna kept grinding through the minors for nearly seven years before he finally debuted on September 19, 1959, with the Kansas City Athletics. He worked almost exclusively out of the bullpen, drawing only six starting assignments in his whole career and never finishing one, and he pitched the entire 1960 season for Kansas City before a trade sent him to the expansion Washington Senators. He closed out his playing days with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons in 1963, leaving a four-season major league record of 14-16 with a 3.88 ERA, 110 strikeouts and eight saves in 159 games.

Graded population — a scarcity guide, not a price. Snapshot 2026-09-24. Half-grades fold down (8.5→8), and PSA's qualified grades are counted separately from the straight-grade rows shown here. Slabs of the three cards printed #139 are joined by description, never by number alone. PSA registers the green tints as a separate set; a tint's population is listed under that state of the card it belongs to.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1962 Topps #566 card?
It is card #566 of the 600-card 1962 Topps Baseball set, picturing Marty Kutyna of the Washington Senators.
Does 1962 Topps #566 have an error?
The back says he won 34 games in 1953 and 1954 combined - it was 35. It was never corrected, so there is no variation to chase - every copy of #566 reads the same way.
Why is #566 harder to find?
It is a high number card (cards 523-598) from the seventh print series, distributed last and in the smallest quantity - the toughest cards in the set and home to all 42 short prints and the Rookie Parade. It is also a short print card (42 cards, all in 523-598). Printed in smaller quantity than the rest of the seventh series.
How many cards are in the 1962 Topps Baseball set?
600 cards, tracked as 708 collectible states. The numbers run from 1 to 598 with no gaps, but three different cards were printed #139 - two Hal Reniff poses, catalogued 139a and 139b, and the Babe Hits 60 Babe Ruth Special, 139c - so 598 numbers make 600 cards; 93 cards carry catalogued print variations, the series-2 green tints among them, that the master set counts separately.
