That Bench is an all time great in my mind. So many, but it clearly does stand out as one of the greats. The dust, the all-star badge and the fact that it is future HOFer Bench. Fosse is another catcher with a great card due to an action shot and the A's color scheme is great, but no AS badge and Fosse was no Bench. Too bad the Munson card was just a portrait from the same set.
From 1971 & 1973-1981, the sets were loaded with great action shots before that pretty much became the norm (i left out 72 & 82, both of which had the In Action subsets) and most cards were action in a set. Lots of great shots that made epic cards. Way better than the 60s and 50s images.
