1968 Topps #574 Cincinnati Reds
Hall of Famers on the 1967 Cincinnati Reds roster: Johnny Bench and Tony Perez.

The story on this card
This team card reports the Reds' 1967 season, an 87-75 finish for fourth place in the National League under manager Dave Bristol at Crosley Field. The 1967 club was on the rise, with Tony Perez established alongside Pete Rose and Vada Pinson, and a 19-year-old catcher named Johnny Bench, who had just debuted in late August, already on the roster. Card #574 sits in the seventh and final print series, one of the high numbers that make late-series 1968 team cards tougher finds than their earlier-series counterparts. Having future Hall of Famers Bench and Perez on the club gives this Reds team card real crossover appeal beyond pure team-set collectors.
