Yeah, like the others have said, those tough suckers start at card #523. The checklists back then didn't correspond exactly to each series (they sort of straddled them), most likely because Topps issued some of them with the previous series in order to show what cards were coming up ahead. In other words, to make the boys drool as they waited for the next bunch of cards to be released.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
