About Bob Duliba
Duliba spent 1966 in the minors, with Toronto until a five-player May trade moved him into the Kansas City system, then 7-1 with a 1.91 ERA over 66 innings at Vancouver. That won an Opening Day spot for the Athletics' last season in Kansas City, but he went 0-0 with a 6.52 ERA in seven games and last pitched May 9. Card #599 sits in the seventh series, yet the guides list it among that series' double prints, so it surfaces more readily than most cards this deep.
Robert John "Ach" Duliba was born January 9, 1935, in Glen Lyon, Pennsylvania, the only Newport Township High School player ever to reach the majors. Cardinals scouts Pop Kelchner and Stan Brackenridge, there to see a teammate, watched him strike out 18 of 21 Nanticoke batters and signed him instead; manager Whitey Kurowski hung the nickname "Ach" on him at Peoria in 1954. After three Marine Corps years at Parris Island and in Hawaii, he went 8-5 at Triple-A Omaha alongside a young Bob Gibson and debuted for St. Louis on August 11, 1959. A right-hander who never started a big-league game in 176 appearances, he worked for the Cardinals, Angels, Red Sox and Athletics, finishing 17-12 with a 3.47 ERA, 14 saves and 129 strikeouts. His 1960 season ended July 10 in a crash outside Columbia, Missouri that killed three passengers he was driving to Ray Sadecki's wedding. He later taught history at Wyoming Area High School, coached baseball at Wilkes University, and died April 4, 2026, at 91.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1967 Topps #599 card?
It is card #599 of the 609-card 1967 Topps Baseball set, picturing Bob Duliba of the Kansas City Athletics.
Is 1967 Topps #599 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.
How many cards are in the 1967 Topps Baseball set?
609 cards, tracked as 624 collectible states. Numbers run from 1 to 609 without a gap - no number was skipped and none was used twice - and 15 cards carry catalogued print variations that the master set counts separately.
