1968 Topps Johnny Bench / Ron Tompkins #247

The rookie card of one of baseball's defining catchers, shared with Ron Tompkins

Card 247 from the 1968 Topps set is the rookie card of Johnny Bench, a multi-format issue that pairs him with fellow rookie Ron Tompkins. Bench went on to a Hall of Fame career as the cornerstone of Cincinnati's Big Red Machine, and this card remains a centerpiece of the 1968 set for collectors. In a PSA 4, the card presents with honest mid-grade wear, showing the corner and surface character typical of the grade while keeping the image clean and recognizable.
