1968 Topps Johnny Bench #247

Very well put together, just slightly OC

this jumps out of a case and makes a signed RC collector out of anyone.

Just short of an A for me. Really pretty card, centering & corner/edge wear just barely hold it back.

This is pleasing to sit back and stare at, plain and simple. When I get that vibe, and I notice something like centering I might hope was better, but does not really bug me, that's when I know the eye appeal is "A" worthy.

Great image and color enhanced by a beautiful auto to me. Just what looks like a slight centering shift away from an even higher grade.

Auto is bold and in a good spot. The card looks great too, nice color and clear images. Minor surface wear in a couple spots and a slight centering shift are the only issues but they don't bother me as much on a signed card like this.

Side centering is all I can cite here, and the overall aesthetic is strong for signed vintage.

What a see a like The placement of the autographed does not take away from the photo and it is a clean and legible autograph (wish it was more bold) but it stands out. The card has a little tilt and off centering but since the image is clean and colors good it does not bother me Card I would add to my collection for a HOFer
