About Terry Fox
#576 is a genuine high number from the seventh series, inside the set's short-print zone. The 1964 season behind it was his quietest in Detroit: 4-3 with a 3.39 ERA and five saves in 32 games, the fewest of his five full Tiger years, and he finished only 20 of them while Larry Sherry took the late innings with 11 saves for Chuck Dressen's fourth-place 85-77 club.
Terry Fox was a right-handed relief pitcher who spent seven major league seasons, 1960 through 1966, with the Milwaukee Braves, Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies. Born July 31, 1935, in Chicago and raised in Midlothian, he graduated from Thornton Township High School in Harvey, Illinois, in 1953 and took a Class C contract from the Atlanta Crackers after four tryout camps; the Braves picked him out of the Atlanta organization at no cost after the 1955 season. Two summers with the New Iberia Pelicans of the Evangeline League made his name, 13-4 in the first and 21-12 in the second, and Atlanta, Jacksonville, Topeka, Austin and Sacramento followed before Milwaukee called him up in September 1960. That December the Braves shipped him to Detroit with Bill Bruton, Dick Brown and Chuck Cottier for Frank Bolling and Neil Chrisley, and he became the Tigers' late-inning man for five seasons, leading the club in saves in 1961, 1962, 1963 and 1965. He never started a major league game: all 248 of his appearances came out of the bullpen, and he finished 29-19 with a 2.99 ERA, 59 saves and 185 strikeouts. Fox settled in New Iberia, married Loreauville native Shirley Dugas and spent 26 years with Texaco starting in 1968.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1965 Topps #576 card?
It is card #576 of the 598-card 1965 Topps Baseball set, picturing Terry Fox of the Detroit Tigers.
Is 1965 Topps #576 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.
How many cards are in the 1965 Topps Baseball set?
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.
