About Tommie Aaron
Number 567 lands in the seventh print series of the 1965 set, a high number inside the short-print zone. The season it accompanies was the leanest of his career: Aaron got into only eight games for Milwaukee, went 3-for-16 with a single RBI, and spent the rest of the year in the minors. Those eight games did put him back in the same clubhouse as his older brother Hank, the future Hall of Famer. The card also closes out his run as a Milwaukee Brave - the franchise played its last Wisconsin season in 1965 and opened 1966 in Atlanta, and his next Topps card would not appear until 1968.
Tommie Lee Aaron was born August 5, 1939, in Mobile, Alabama, and signed with the Milwaukee Braves as an amateur free agent on May 28, 1958, at eighteen. A right-handed hitter and thrower who split his time between first base and left field, he was the younger brother of Hank Aaron; their 768 combined home runs remain the major-league record for a pair of brothers, though Hank hit 755 of them. Tommie reached the majors on April 10, 1962, and spent the next decade shuttling between the Braves and the minors, winning International League Most Valuable Player honors with Richmond in 1967. Over seven big-league seasons he batted .229 with 13 home runs, 94 RBI and 102 runs in 437 games, and drew praise for his glove work at first base, where he finished at .990. He managed in the Braves farm system through the 1970s, joined the Atlanta coaching staff in 1979, and was still on it when he died of leukemia in Atlanta on August 16, 1984, eleven days past his 45th birthday. Richmond later named its team MVP award for him, and the franchise's Triple-A club, now the Gwinnett Stripers, retired his number 23.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1965 Topps #567 card?
It is card #567 of the 598-card 1965 Topps Baseball set, picturing Tommie Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves.
Is 1965 Topps #567 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.
