Thanks, that's pretty cool. I have a stack of '70s Bench and Big Red Machine wire photos (and one from his rookie year in '68!) but I've never seen that one.

It's hard to keep track of all that stuff on the Bay, so I appreciate you pointing it out. At any given time there are 600+ eBay auctions with "Johnny Bench" in the title. Most of them are raw cards in, shall we say, less than great condition. I don't even want to guess what the volume is for Nolan Ryan, Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, etc. and the modern stars like Pujols.
