Back in August of 2016 I posted my favorite Johnny Bench card. I knew I eventually wanted to upgrade it and I recently had the opportunity to do just that. For around 7 American Dollars I was able to pick up my second copy of Johnny Bench's 1969 OPC card.
It's still no better than VG but the centering is much better and I appreciate that there's not another card visible this time around. The shot, the huge rookie cup trophy, the Spring Training background....it all works so beautifully in unison.
