Item Description
2.5x3.5". The 1962 Topps Baseball set consists of 598 cards. Cards feature a photograph set against a faux wood-grain background, with the lower-right corner designed to give the appearance that it is peeling away to reveal his name, team, and position. Specialty cards including statistical leaders, multi-player cards, team cards, checklists, World Series cards and All-Stars, as well as the debut of the multi-player rookie card. Photo variations of several cards in the Second Series (#110-196) exist, with cards in that Series also found with two distinct printing types - an early printing containing a greenish tint. "Short Prints" can be found in the high numbers, including Hall of Famers Bob Gibson (#530), Willie McCovey (#544) and Hoyt Wilhelm (#545). The 1962 Topps set's wood-grain borders are highly susceptible to chipping that the collection is difficult to find in high grade.

Carl Michael Yastrzemski was an American former Major League Baseball player. Yastrzemski played his entire 23-year Major League career with the Boston Red Sox (1961-1983). Yastrzemski is an 18-time All-Star, won seven Gold Gloves, is a member of the 3,000 Hit Club, and the first AL player in that club to also accumulate over 400 Home Runs.  He is second on the all-time list for games played, and third for total at-bats. He is the Red Sox' all-time leader in career RBI's, runs, hits, singles, doubles, total bases, and games played, and is third on the team's list for home runs, behind Ted Williams and David Ortiz. Yastrzemski was inducted into National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1989.
