1976 Johnny Bench bat question..

[33bird]

I saw the older thread on Bench bats from 1976. My question is of the B278 (non-cupped) ordered that season, do you know how many total of just that bat that he ordered?
Thanks

Hi

During the bi-centennial year of 1976, Bench was shipped one order of model B278 bats that do not show in the records as having cupped ends...that order was shipped on 10/14/76 (immediately prior to the Reds 4 game World Series sweep of the Yankees that took place between 10/16/76 and 10/21/76) and totaled 12 bats with Flame Treated/Burned finish. Prior to that order, between 3/16/76 and 8/17/76 Bench was shipped 6 orders of B278C bats, totaling 60 bats.

Good Luck with future collecting.

Looking info about the Bench Bicentennial bat. What is the value of a team index Bench Bicentennial?
