I will probably also have the Stargell and Concepion cards graded too since I have them now... I can never reveal the price of the Bench cards, but I can tell you I wouldn't sell them for $10,000...
I call them my unicorns!!!
Sorry if I am over excited, I have been collecting Johnny Bench stuff since I was about 11 years old in 1985 and I have NEVER seen one of these for sale, let alone the obvious rarity of the 1 of 1 signed original sketch...
That being said... I am interested in any other Bench Mengler cards that show up on the market in the future only because I feel I will be lucky to see a VG3 or 4 on this one due to the corner... it is still BEAUTIFUL to me and I will cherish it even if it receives a PR1...
The Stargell I am not going to part with either, but I could be persuaded to swap the Concepion and some cash on my end for another Bench in hopes of a slightly better grade...
