In the early ’70s, Pete Rose & Johnny Bench jointly owned a Lincoln Mercury car dealership in Dayton, Ohio. Unfortunately, this venture was short-lived and resulted in a strain on their relationship. This collection includes the nine postcards issued in 1972 by the said dealership. Acquiring these postcards is considered a challenging endeavor.
