The 70 Bench was the hottest card among my collecting group of friends on Long Island in 1970-everybody wanted that card. It's certainly possible a bunch got singed in the now infamous CCC fire of 1973 (imagine what some cards/sets values would be like if it never happened!) but I recall it always in demand from the minute it came out. In fact, his AS card that year was hot too because Topps saved the regular card for the high numbers.
