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.

Growing up in the 1970's and 80's, even as a Cardinal fan, every youth and High School baseball player in the Midwest wanted to be someone on the Big Red Machine.

I cheered for the Cardinals, but after Lou Brock, Johnny Bench was my favorite player by far.
