Ebay Rookie Card Pickup

I got this in the mail today after winning it on ebay the other day.
A 1968 Topps Johnny Bench Rookie Card. I got this card very cheap due to the smudge on Ron Tompkins' name. Otherwise, the front of the card looks really good.

The scan of the back picked up pretty true, it is WAY off center. I'm not too worried about that either, given what I spent on the card. Let's just say that it was pretty much a steal. I feel like I do pretty well in my ebay conquests. This one being a prime example.

You gotta love the off condition eBay deals!

I still have a copy from my childhood collecting days. Unfortunately, 42 years later, it is no longer "pack fresh". I love how young Bench looks and the backward striped Reds cap.

I have gotten a bunch of cards off ebay real cheap because people are so hung up on trying to find the next GEM MINT 10. Hey, that leaves more less than stellar cards for my collection, and I can save some cash.
