someone figure out what prediced HOFbetter: MLB ROY or Topps Rookie Cup/trophy

My vintage card of the week: The 1969 Topps Johnny Bench All-Star Rookie Trophy card. This is another case where I greatly prefer a player’s second card because it’s his first solo card. I’ve owned the ’68 card, but it doesn’t hold a candle to this ’69 in my eyes. Such a classic image here, with the blue of the name circle matching the blue of Johnny’s eyes. He looks poised to build the Big Red Machine.

Johnny Bench - Reds All-Time HR Leader, 389

For throwback Thursday going with one of my favs Johnny Bench. This one of many classic 70s cards as he had some great photos thru out the decade.

2006 Triple Threads Relic Auto ⭐️ Johnny Bench, 1/1 White Whale
Here's a relic auto, 1/1, that is near the top of my collection.
I'm not sure how I lucked into this card. I think other collectors were asleep at the wheel when the bidding ended.
