I did not know about that '68 error. I guess I have to get out my card and take a look. I got it out of a shoebox collection I bought a few years ago. Has some technical flaws but I am content with it since it only cost me a buck raw:



My favorites are the 1969 regular and AS issue. Again, the regular card was from that collection I bought. The AS card I've had for decades. Both were slabbed recently:

Hi Exhibitman,

That card looks very nice, and at a price that cannot be beat!

Hi Holybull and jb67,

Those are both such amazing examples of the Bench card. To my eyes those would both seem to rate as a 10. If you don't mind, can you offer your insight on what perceived flaws the cards might have, that do not show to me.

BTW, silly me. I think I had a brain lapse when I asked what model Reds cap that Johnny was wearing in his 1968 Topps card. The attached 1969 Topps card answers that.

Best,
