1968 Topps Johnny Bench Rookie Card

I assume the OP is referring to the fact the Bench card can be found with a recurring print defect on the back where part of the h in the word "the" in the first line of his bio is missing. Here are my two versions of the card

This is my weirdest Bench....and the weirdest Maury Wills too. Maury looked like Bump :-)

Hi ALR-bishop,

That is indeed the error I am referring too. I love that Bench you posted there. It makes me want to dig out my collection, and look through everything Johnny that I have. It is pretty comprehensive, up until I stopped collecting in roughly 1990.

Best,
John

I've never heard of the Bench error. Not that I know of all errors .
So I searched eBay and it seemed that most did not have the error .
And I don't think it would matter in grading .

Not a 68', but my favorite Bench. Good luck chasing down that 10!

I highly doubt you get an 8 or 9. Probably a 6. Only saying that so you don't get to disappointed if you decide to send it in. I collected in 1990 and grading is WAY stricter now than it ever has been.

Good luck with your quest of landing a PSA 10 Bench rookie (POP 11). My favorite player by far. His 69 card is my favorite.
