One for Geordie - Brett Butler, who else?

MinorLeaguer

Although we've never conversed, I can see from many posts that Geordie is the biggest Brett Butler fan there is out there so he may be delighted to see I just recently popped this:

NEAR MINT-MINT 8 1980 TCMA ANDERSON BRAVES 26 BRETT BUTLER

1 of 2 in PSA 8 with none higher.

Other honorable Braves pop props to:
MINT 9 1979 TCMA SAVANNAH BRAVES 14 STEVE BEDROSIAN (Bedrock!)
MINT 9 1978 TCMA RICHMOND BRAVES BRUCE BENEDICT ( I miss watching Sportscenter before school and hearing a younger Chris Berman doing the highlights and his Bruce "Eggs" Benedict schtick!

I would love to see those scanned when you get them in hand.

After Thurman Munson passed, Bruce Benedict became my favorite player as a little league catcher as we only live an hour and change from Atlanta.

Here's "Eggs" last year at Turner Field:



As he was signing for me, I told Bruce Benedict he was my favorite player as a kid and Gene Garber, who was sitting next to him, looked up from signing and looked at Bruce and said "You were my favorite player too as a kid." A great interaction.

That's a tough card to find in high grade - well done!

Might as well take the opportunity to show off my 7

1966CUDA

Here's the other "8".

Here you go. Just received yesterday:







This Hubbard was in the same set as the Benedict but thinking PSA 7 or 8 at best due to centering as although crisp, I want to try and find one better centered:

Well, we have scans of 3 of the 4 1980 Butler's ever graded in this thread. Anyone have the PSA 6 and care to make the thread complete?

The closest I can get is a raw '81 TCMA Richmond Brett.

Thanks for the scans. Clean shaven Bedrock is an odd sight.
