1968 Topps Johnny Bench Rookie Card

[sixpointone]

Hi All,

I have a card grading question. In a couple weeks there will be a card show near me where PSA will be there grading cards. As such I am planning on likely bringing my Johnny Bench rookie card with me to be graded. Might anyone hear have insight on the turnaround time for that, as well as the potential costs involved? Any and all insight is much appreciated.

Best,
John

There is a ton of info, and likely everything you need to know, right in the PSA site. http://www.psacard.com/

If PSA is grading on site, then it should be a few hours at most, depending how many in front of you there are?

Prices also vary, depending on the value of the card. I believe, (likely in the link?) anything that has a value of $10,000 or over will cost you $700.00 dollars per card. It goes down from there to I believe $200 or $250 if the card is valued below that to $5000.00.

Good luck.

Hi all,

I thought I'd let you know that my Bench rookie, which is pictured on post 37, came back from PSA. It was graded at a 7. Overall, a decent grade. To me the best part of the card is remembering getting it many years ago.

Best,
John

Hope I'm not too late to join the party.

Here is my Bench Rookie. It's only a PSA 5; however, looks fine to me.

Great card of a great player. One could argue he was among the best catchers that ever played in the Major Leagues.

Congrats on the grade, John, and very nice card, Eric.

I think you could make an excellent argument that Bench was THE greatest catcher ever, although you'd have to put Josh Gibson right there, too.
