83 was probably the beginning of using mostly action shots in sets, possibly 82, scattered with fewer dumb poses. I see that as the beginning of the "modern era" of card images.
I am surprised anyone would not like the Munson card. However, we each have something unique that draws us to what we like and don't like. That is probably one of my favorite cards of all time. For me, it has the star power, the great action shot, the trophy, the horizontal orientation in a mostly vertical set and the black borders. That card is as close to cardboard perfection (for me) as one can get.
If that was Garvey sliding into the plate and it was his card, that is the only way this card is topped in my mind.
