1968 Topps #518 7th Series Checklist 534-598
Checklist card fronted by Clete Boyer's photo; lists cards 534-598.
About this card
The seven checklist cards (#67, 107, 192, 278, 356, 454, 518) each carry a player portrait in a circle beside the series title - Jim Kaat, Juan Marichal, Carl Yastrzemski, Orlando Cepeda, Ken Holtzman, Frank Robinson and Clete Boyer in order. Six of the seven exist in two states; #67 is the only checklist without a variation.
The story on this card
This checklist for cards 534 to 598 puts Clete Boyer's photo on the front, coming off a 1967 season with Atlanta in which he set career highs with 26 home runs and 96 RBIs, batting cleanup in a lineup that included Hank Aaron and Joe Torre, and led National League third basemen in fielding. Collectors separate two printed states of the checklist by its line for card 539: one corrected to read "Maj. L. Rookies" and one carrying the earlier "Amer. L. Rookies" wording. It comes from the sixth series; condition-sensitive copies with the checklist boxes unmarked bring a premium.
Print variations
Two states of #518 are tracked individually: 518a - #539 Is Maj. L. Rookies and 518b - #539 Is Amer. L. Rookies. The difference is on the front of the card (checklist text).
States catalogued by the PSA master set registry and the Trading Card Database; each is tracked here individually.

Graded population — a scarcity guide, not a price. Data as of 2026-09-04. Half grades fold down for both graders (8.5→8); PSA qualified slabs (OC, ST, PD, MC and the like) are not counted. Where a grader registers a variation separately its population is listed under that variation; SGC slabs whose label names no variation are counted under 518a - #539 Is Maj. L. Rookies. Slabs of the yellow team-letter #49 and #66 are 1968 Milton Bradley game cards and are not counted here.
