Johnny Bench was one of the best Baseball-Players ever, and his baseball cards remain popular to collectors. We will break down the top 5 most expensive Johnny Bench baseball cards in excess of five figures a piece and uncover some amazing information about each one.

1. 1968 Topps Johnny Bench (Rookie)

The 1968 Topps rookie card of Johnny Bench is a real gem for collectors. Bench's famous rookie card (first of the others) comes from another big seller in history and is very sought after due to its rarity and historical relevance. Arguably the greatest rookie catcher of all time, an example in mint condition would sell for $2500 or more. This equally compelling - two-time MVP and 14-time All-Star makes yet another must-own rookie for the vintage HOFer collector. With an estimated PSA 10 Gem Mint value of $4,500 the card is desirable and a valuable addition for any collector.

2. Johnny Bench Baseball Cards of 1972 Topps

Johnny Bench was again the N.L. MVP and his card fetches real dough in 1972. In a great stretch with 40 dingers and outstanding numbers (56% caught stealing) this only makes the card all that more intriguing. The outrageous font and the bright colors that are typical of what is likely one of most adored baseball card sets in history, 1972 Topps just add to as well. An impeccable grade of this card at $4700 worth proves it not only carries Bench's standout season, but also part due to the collector-popularity for his second-year 1969 cards.
