WTB - Johnny Bench rare cards

[Big Red Machine]

Hello,
I am looking for a couple of harder to find Johnny Bench items. The Norman Paulson postcard and a 1968 Binger, Oklahoma, Johnny Bench Day card. Please let me know if you have either of these for sale. Thank you.

I don’t think the Paulson was printed in the late 1960’s. I think he printed and sold most of them from his collector’s ads in the 1980’s.

Those are very tough Bench cards to find. I have a plethora of rare Bench items and still haven't seen these pop up for sale anywhere.

Do you have any rare items of his you may look to part with or have duplicates?
Thanks.
Shawn

I picked up the Binger advertisement card today, also signed, at the Moeller show in Cincinnati. First one I have ever seen in person.
The Dealer also had the '67 and '68 team postcards of Bench but I didn't want to fork out that much cash.

Hi Shawn,

Curious as to what the asking price on those Bench team postcard were. Rare to find one for sale. Luckily I have both in my collection. Do you mind sharing the price?

Dealer had them priced at $900 each. The '68 was signed. This guy is a wizard at finding tough regional/ oddball items
