1972 Topps #604 Checklist 6th Series
About this card
This is one of the six checklist cards (#4, #103, #251, #378, #478 and #604), one for each series: #4 lists the first series, and #103, #251, #378, #478 and #604 each list the next series and were printed in the one before it. Three of them come in two printings - #251 and #478 with smaller or larger print on the front, #604 with its copyright line aligned right or left.
The story on this card
Checklist #604 is the Series Six checklist of the 1972 Topps issue, though the card itself was printed in the fifth series. Collectors separate two printings of it by where the copyright line falls, below either column of the listing, and the card is catalogued as the common printing plus a Copyright Left Aligned version. Checklists #251 and #478 carry variations of their own, with different font sizes on the front. The four Series One Cubs cards can be found printed with yellow or green under the C and S of CUBS. The sixth series holds Steve Garvey at #686, Rod Carew at #695 and the Traded cards at #751-757.
