The Benchies is/was sort of the The Bench's award show. There was multiple categories for members to submit various collectibles - IE, best baseball card, best football card, best super collection, etc, etc. Threads were set up and the membership could vote with the ultimate goal of having your entry be names "Best on The Bench". At one point, I believe folks could even get a little icon with their avatar, much like the super collector badge that many have.
