The 1962 Topps High Numbered Cards, begin with card #523 and contain some very expensive short-printed cards, quite often of players that no one has ever heard of. The only high-number card is #572 Bob Miller. The cards in the 1962 Topps Rookie Parade subset, which includes cards #591 to #598, are NOT included in standard team sets. The Rookie Parade cards each have five players, from multiple teams and can be purchased separately. These cards are very expensive and not considered part of a standard 1962 Topps Team Set.
