I have been able to increase the number of cards in the Johnny Bench Master set card registry to up to over 200 cards. Currently the set totals 204.
When you compare players from similar eras who missed out on the bulk of the flood of cards that were issued in the 1980's, I believe Bench's set is one of the most extensive. I am still searching for Bench's team issue postcards from 1967, 1968, and 1971 to include in the set.

I would agree. I think some of the team issued postcards are about the only thing lacking from the 70's for the Schmidt set as well. In terms of team issued postcards, nobody has that covered quite like what Kevin has done with the Tony Perez master set.
