I might need to sell 1 or 2 of these 8.5 Bench cards and cannot for the life of me figure out which one I like the most. I would be curious to see what others think. Opinion #1 Which one has the best centering? Opinion #2 Which one do you like overall. Appreciate opinions and thoughts.

    I would go with #2.

    2 as well. With all centering about equal, the 2nd does not have any fish eyes in the blue.

    I prefer number 3. The centering is sufficient, and the rich color hues are perhaps a tsch better than the first two, but it's the clarity and fineness of the picture registry that makes #3 stand out to me. ---Indiana Jones (Brian Powell)

    Agree with Brian.

    I like 552 best also. Clean blue circle, and the other two, to me anyway, show a hint of a diamond cut at the top, while 552 does not.

    Can we see the backs? Have you tried to bump them all first before selling? Seems worth the $50-60 to let PSA decide between the 3.

    This may be a good idea.

    For me it's either 2 or 3 for the reasons already mentioned above.

    The 2nd and 3rd one have not been tried. The first one listed bumped from PSA 8 -8.5. Here are the backs in the same order.
    Thanks everyone for your input so far.

    What a great card in the hobby, that '69 Bench. Interesting that the backs of #1 and #3 have a purplish hue to them. After seeing the backs, I might be leaning to keeping #3 out of the bunch. Nice cards!

    All 3 are really nice cards. I like the front of #2 a little better than the other two, but the back of #3 a little better than the first two. If selling, I would sell #1.

    You can't go wrong with any of them.

    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    +1

    Although, I would, personally still keep #2, since JB did play for the Cincinnati "Reds" and not the Cincinnati "Pinks" ;)
    (#2 has the reddest back)

    i like #2

    the other two seem to have the slight tilt commonly found with 69s
