ABOUT JOHNNY:
Johnny Bench was one of the last great role models for American boys. In spite of being a talented athlete and super-intelligent, he was (and still is) a down-to-Earth guy. When Johnny was in the eighth grade, he had size 12 feet, huge hands that eventually could grip six baseballs each, and a self-described huge head. But he stood just 5-foot-2.  “The only people scouting me was Barnum & Bailey!” Bench cracked.  Last year, the Johnny Bench Museum opened in his hometown of Binger, Oklahoma.  Johnny joked at the time, "It ought to bring in eight to ten people a day!"

Guaranteed book value:
This card will always be worth more than you paid. The minimum "book value" is the price above. I will buy this card back from you for what you paid any time you ask. Next week, next year, or ten years from now. I can do this only because I know that this card is worth more than I am selling it for.

About Grouchy:
21 years selling cards online. Before that, owner of Space City Cards Comics & Coins on Main St. in Houston. As a kid I loved baseball and football, and collected cards starting in 1959 - that's 60 years, but it feels like yesterday.  I have bought and sold millions of sports cards over the years. The kids who used to frequent my card shop named me the "Grouchy Old Man" because I had to keep them in line.  The nickname stuck. I'm not that grouchy anymore. I have over 100,000 online transactions, with an average feedback score of 100% over the years.
