1965 Topps #592 Frank Bork
About Frank Bork
This card is part of Topps' seventh and final 1965 print series, a high number inside the short-print zone and a recognized rookie card for Bork, depicting his lone big league season. Pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1964, he worked 33 games, mostly out of the bullpen, going 2-2 with two saves and a 4.07 ERA across 42 innings, with 31 strikeouts.
Frank Bernard Bork was born July 13, 1940, in Buffalo, New York. A left-handed pitcher listed at 6 feet 2 inches and 175 pounds, he signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates as an amateur free agent in 1960 and spent four seasons working through the club's farm system. His best minor league showing came in 1962, when he went 19-7 with a 2.00 ERA for the Kinston Eagles of the Carolina League. Bork reached the majors with Pittsburgh in 1964, his only big league season, appearing in 33 games, 31 of them in relief. He finished 2-2 with two saves and a 4.07 ERA, working 42 innings, allowing 51 hits and 11 walks, and striking out 31. After that season he returned to the minor leagues, where he pitched through 1967 before retiring. He later lived and worked in Dublin, Ohio. He is not a Hall of Famer.

Is 1965 Topps #592 a scarce card?
It is a high number card from the seventh and last series, #507-598. Unlike most 1960s Topps sets the 1965 highs are not scarce as a run - the premium sits on the short-printed cards inside #523-598. It is also a short-print zone card. Forty-four of the 76 cards in #523-598 were short-printed; #507-522 was not. The zone is stated as a range because the catalogs disagree on exactly which cards, so no single card is marked.

598 cards, tracked as 600 collectible states. Numbers run from 1 to 598 with no gaps and no printed-number collisions, and two checklist cards - #79 and #508 - carry catalogued print variations that the master set counts separately.
