1967 Topps #570 Maury Wills
A high number from the seventh series, and Wills's rookie card.
About Maury Wills
Traded to Pittsburgh after the 1966 season for Bob Bailey and Gene Michael, Wills moved mostly to third base and hit .302 in 1967, with 186 hits, 45 RBI, 92 runs and 29 stolen bases in 149 games. His 1967 Topps card, #570, is his rookie card. It comes from the seventh series, a high number, and shows him with the Pirates.
Maury Wills was the switch-hitting shortstop credited with reviving the stolen base as a weapon, an integral part of the Los Angeles Dodgers teams that won three World Series titles between 1959 and 1965. Signed by Brooklyn in 1950, he spent eight seasons in the minors, starting in Class D, before a June 1959 call-up finally stuck. His breakout came in 1962, when he stole a record 104 bases, breaking the modern-era mark of 96 that Ty Cobb set in 1915, and won the National League Most Valuable Player award over Willie Mays. He led the league in steals six times, made five All-Star teams, and won Gold Gloves at shortstop in 1961 and 1962. After the 1966 season the Dodgers traded him to Pittsburgh, where he played mostly third base; the expansion Montreal Expos drafted him after 1968, and a June 1969 trade sent him back to Los Angeles, where he finished his career. Wills retired in 1972 with a .281 average, 2,134 hits and 586 stolen bases, then managed the Seattle Mariners in parts of 1980 and 1981. He appeared on Hall of Fame ballots for years but was never elected. Through most of his playing career he spent off-seasons performing on banjo in nightclubs. He died in 2022.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1967 Topps #570 card?
It is card #570 of the 609-card 1967 Topps Baseball set, picturing Maury Wills of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Why is a veteran like Maury Wills a rookie card?
Because #570 is his first Topps card. Wills had no Topps card before 1967, so the 1967 high number counts as his rookie card under the first-flagship-appearance rule.
Why is #570 harder to find?
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.
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.
