Greatest Regional Sets .....

One of the hardest to find Cincinnati Reds regional set has to be the 1968 Uniroyal Keds set. I recently acquired a PSA 6 Johnny Bench rookie. The Bench isn't even listed in the SCD guide.

Nice Bench!

Were those perforated cards or did they have to be cut?

Thanks. They had to be cut.

While the MSA discs were nationwide, many of the backs were regional. Here are probably the 2 toughest regional backs. The no address Red Barn is tough.

This sticker is my #1 favorite item in my collection. Test issue in Boston and one other market, Pittsburgh.

While we're on the subject of postwar regional / food issues, may I recommend a book I authored that debuted this spring? Written and edited over a period of several years, I finally secured full legal copyright last year. It was produced this year by the same firm that puts out the Krause Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards on a CD. As a 478-page book, it is easily read by inserting it into the disc drive of your computer or laptop. Some of the better known regionals discussed here are covered extensively. I believe you will enjoy it.

P.S. If you're interested in viewing SCD editor Tom Bartsch's press release for my book, simply google "Never Cheaper by the Dozen" and it should come right up.

I love the New York Journal set but it's hard to really nail down a "greatest" set.

Now that is a very cool looking Bench. I think I've seen one before in my past, but if I recall correctly the Bench wasn't in the greatest shape. I don't really do the registry thing, but that has to be the highest graded, correct?

Really like this thread...some great looking items.

Thanks. Yes, there are only two graded Bench's from this set, a PSA 1 and PSA 6. I own both and just recently sold the PSA 1.
