This is the year of my birth so that alone makes this set mean a bit more to me. I've always liked it for it's simplicity, even though it is a re-hash of the 1968 design.
I love this Bench card. An early photo of Bench before he wore #5, the trophy, the squat pose, and the cool vest uniforms the Reds used to wear. This and the 1973 Bench is what made me pass on the 1975 and 1976 editions of him.

The 1968 Champs were part of baseball lore in Michigan until 1984. For the TMI department, I was born about 9 months after Mickey jumped in Bill's arms.

A couple of things wacky with this card. It appears to be a lefty catcher, but no. It's a reverse image of Larry Haney's 1968 Topps card.
