Selected for the American League All-Star team in 1941 and 1942, Al Benton would miss the following two seasons due to wartime service, winning a World Series championship with the Detroit Tigers upon his return in 1945. From the landmark 1952 Topps release, recognized as the most important set of the modern, post-war era, we have Benton’s #374 high-number card, encapsulated and graded NM 7 by PSA. Much more difficult to locate than the low-number cards issued in the first five series, the high-number cards from the final series (#311 to #407) are always on the watchlist of collectors, especially pleasing, mid-to-high grade examples. Fairly well centered, the card displays nicely with rich colours.
