1968 Topps Johnny Bench / Ron Tompkins #247

The catcher's-mask rookie shared by a future Hall of Famer

The 1968 Topps #247 rookie card pairs Johnny Bench with Ron Tompkins, issued the year Bench was named National League Rookie of the Year. He would go on to a Hall of Fame career as the cornerstone catcher of Cincinnati's Big Red Machine, and this card remains the standard entry point to his rookie cardboard. As a PSA 3, the card shows honest, well-circulated wear consistent with the grade while presenting fully intact and clearly identifiable.
