Condition Details
Visible corner wear with softening and slight rounding, minor edge chipping and light whitening along the borders, moderate surface wear and light scuffing typical of vintage cards stored in pages.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection or authentication purposes, as the grading fees would likely exceed the added value for a mid-to-lower grade vintage card.
Card Description
Features Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench pictured batting in a Cincinnati Reds road grey uniform, though the card incorrectly lists his position as '3rd BASE'. Includes a circular portrait inset in the bottom right, pink border framing the main photo, and a yellow name/team banner.
Notable Features
Notable for the famous positional error on the front listing him as '3rd BASE' instead of Catcher, Hall of Famer.
Authentication Notes
Standard vintage card stock and print registration consistent with 1980 Topps production. No obvious signs of counterfeiting.
