just another reason why I like Net54. I never heard of Dormand postcards but after seeing the photo quality I had to Google the name which led me to further research.

My uncle grew up and played high school sports with Tommy John in Terre Haute, IN. My uncle knew I liked baseball cards as a youngster and they were nice enough to get together and have TJ send this postcard. Yes, I went by Danny back then!

It's funny, in another thread we talked about how a highly illegible autograph was Tommy John, and I bemoaned the fact he no longer signs his name where you can actually read it. Your postcard should have been exhibit A. It's really cool you have that.

Found this one today and thought it was pretty cool.

Here's the back.

67 Bench Team Issue Postcard
 

The first card showing showing Johnny Bench.

PSA Write-Up
1967 Cincinnati Reds Team Issue Postcard. This is the first card listed in the Bench Master Set. It offers a black-and-white shot of a young Bench with a facsimile autograph in blue and the team name in red below it. Hollinden believes these were sold at the stadium and at the local Reds gift shop. His PSA EX-MT 6 is the only graded example.

"I can't imagine there are a lot of these because Bench didn't get called up until the middle of the summer [August]," said Hollinden. "I'm not sure when they produced them, but I have to think that it wasn't until he came up.

My Favorite

Reds Postcards
 

Man, “almost” makes a person want to become a Reds fan! The Reds team issues, Jays, etc for the Reds are some of the nicest items I’ve seen. That Bench pictured is one of my favorites; the design and photo are top notch. Also, the JDM postcard of Rose is such a cool item.

A few of my Mets, including a '67 Seaver rookie
