A Vintage 1969 Original Slide Transparency featuring a young Johnny Bench of the Cincinnati Reds. This beauty was captured by sports photographer Lee Balterman whose works has appeared in various sports publications including Sport Magazine and Sports Illustrated. There is a light but present "JUN 69" (June 1969) embossed stamp date on the mount. This "ONE-of-a-KIND" specimen has been preserved in outstanding condition, capable of making unlimited quality enlargements. True vintage original COLOR photographic material of the Reds from the sixties is seldom seen, let alone offered for purchase.
