Here's a list of the Diamond Sparkle cards from baseballcardpedia.com:

Diamond Sparkle Gimmicks
5 Joey Votto (helmet)
15 David Wright (jersey)
40 Justin Upton
42 Mariano Rivera (glove)
60 Andrew McCutchen
70 Kyle Drabek (chest)
75 Jered Weaver (chest)
80 Desmond Jennings
92 Tommy Hunter
108 Zack Greinke (jersey)
110 Aroldis Chapman (jersey)
128 Manny Ramirez (wrist)
140 Brett Anderson
150 Miguel Cabrera (hat)
165 Jeremy Hellickson (jersey)
169 Chipper Jones (chest)
174 Roy Oswalt
177 Brian Matusz (jersey)
200 Ichiro (arm)
208 Clay Buchholz
214 Chase Utley (glove)
216 Jose Baustita (neck)
218 Victor Martinez
247 Starlin Castro (pocket)
250 Carlos Gonzalez
270 Ubaldo Jimenez
271 Adam Dunn (neck)
275 Clayton Kershaw
290 Ike Davis
293 Justin Morneau
294 Luke Scott

300 Roy Halladay (ball)
307 Alex Rios (belt)
315 David Ortiz
322 Brent Morel (ear)
330 Derek Jeter (elbow)

I think they are going to be turning this list into the complete 330 card set. EBay is having several other players pop up now.

There have been 4-5 of some players on ebay (Jeter, Weaver come to mind) - yet there have been none of several players. I am thinking that Topps stuck with its' "60" theme, and there will probably be 60 different sparkle subjects.

I think they are neat chase cards. They force collectors to actually spend time looking at the photographs for the sparkles. They are also not "cheesy" like the Pauley Walnuts, Jeter/Mantle/Bush, etc. Plus, the sparkles actually fit in the diamond theme.

You may be right.
I looked at all current auctions for the sparkle cards, and I see a total of 59 different players listed.
Nice call.

A dealer I talked to at a show yesterday said he got 1 per case he had opened, but was going to double check in case he missed some.
 
Wow, I'd say I did pretty well then. Not the biggest name but still a Sparkle!

In addition pulling a Mike Stanton Happy 60th Topps auto, I got some Mojo for once.
