The story on this card
The 1973 Topps checklist #588 covers the fifth and final series, #529 through #660. Cards from that series were printed in smaller supply, and the checklist is a high number from print series 5. The range runs from Milt May at #529 to Fred Scherman at #660, and takes in team cards such as the Phillies (#536) and Red Sox (#596) and manager cards including Walt Alston's at #569. The 1973 Rookies subset (#601-#616) is in the range as well, with three-player cards for Bob Boone (#613), Dwight Evans (#614), and Mike Schmidt and Ron Cey (#615). In limited areas of the country all five series were sold at once as a test.
