1965 Topps #189 3rd Series Checklist: 177-264
About this card
The seven checklist cards (#79, 104, 189, 273, 361, 443, 508) each list one series, and in 1965 the seven checklist ranges are the seven distribution series exactly (#1-88, 89-176, 177-264, 265-352, 353-429, 430-506, 507-598). Two of them, #79 and #508, are the only cards in the set with catalogued variations.
The story on this card
Card 189 is the third-series checklist for the 1965 Topps set, listing card numbers 177 through 264, one of seven such series checklists in the set - at #79, #104, #189, #273, #361, #443 and #508 - each covering its own run of numbers. The 598-card set runs across seven series, distributed in nickel and penny wax packs, with every card back framed by the set's thick blue-green border. Like every checklist in the issue it carries no player photograph or biography, so it is not tied to any individual player's rookie or star status. It falls in the set's third print series.
