The story on this card
Carew's only card in the 1967 set is #569, a two-player Rookie Stars card he shares with Washington Senators prospect Hank Allen. It sits in the scarce seventh series of high numbers, and it is one of the set's two key rookie cards, with #581 Tom Seaver, although it was one of the high-series cards Topps double-printed, so it turns up a little more often than its neighbors. Carew backed it up on the field: he singled in his first big-league at-bat that April, hit .292 over 137 games, started at second base in the All-Star Game and was voted American League Rookie of the Year. Rod Carew was Minnesota's silky-swinging second baseman, the 1967 AL Rookie of the Year who went on to 18 All-Star selections, seven AL batting titles and the 1977 MVP award before reaching 3,000 hits and Cooperstown in 1991.
Allen got his longest look yet in 1967, appearing in 116 games for Washington, 99 of them in the outfield, and hitting .233 with 3 home runs, 17 RBI and 34 runs scored. His 1967 Topps card is #569, a seventh-series high number in the Rookie Stars subset, and it is his rookie card. He shares it with Rod Carew, whose rookie appearance makes #569 one of the key cards of the set. It is also one of the high-series double prints. Washington Senators outfielder Hank Allen, elder brother of Dick and Ron Allen, played seven big-league seasons before becoming a Maryland Thoroughbred trainer, the first African-American trainer in seventy-eight years to saddle a Kentucky Derby horse.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1967 Topps #569 card?
It is card #569 of the 609-card 1967 Topps Baseball set, picturing Rod Carew and Hank Allen. This is one of the 43 Rookie Stars cards in the set, each pairing two prospects. Thirty-nine are titled by club; #569, #576, #587 and #592 carry a league title and cover two clubs each.
Is 1967 Topps #569 a rookie card?
Yes - #569 is a rookie card for every player pictured on it: Rod Carew and Hank Allen.
Is #569 a short print?
No. #569 sits in the scarce high series (#534-609) but is one of the 22 accepted double prints inside it, so it is easier to find than its neighbors that were not double printed. It is still Rod Carew's rookie card and one of the set's two key rookie cards, with #581 Tom Seaver.
What are the key cards in the 1967 Topps set?
The #150 Mickey Mantle anchors the set, with #200 Willie Mays, #250 Hank Aaron, #400 Bob Clemente, #430 Pete Rose and #600 Brooks Robinson, a tough high-series card, among the keys. The two Hall of Fame rookies sit in the scarce high series: #569 A. League Rookie Stars (Rod Carew) and #581 Mets 1967 Rookie Stars (Tom Seaver).
Is 1967 Topps #569 a scarce card?
It is a high number card from the seventh and last print series, #534-609 - the scarce end of the set, holding both Hall of Fame rookies (Carew #569, Seaver #581). Twenty-two of the 76 are accepted double prints, so scarcity varies card by card inside the run. It is also a double print card (26 cards: #1, #30, #100, the #531 checklist and 22 high numbers). Cards printed twice on the sheet, so more plentiful than their neighbours: #1 The Champs, #30 Al Kaline, #100 Frank Robinson, the #531 seventh-series checklist, and 22 of the 76 high numbers (#534, 537, 539, 542, 547, 548, 550, 551, 554, 556, 559, 562, 564, 566, 569, 582, 588, 589, 596, 599, 601, 608), Carew #569 included. A high number that is also a double print is easier than its series suggests.
