Thanks for looks and the commentary, folks.
I really enjoyed this release.
The 2002 Donruss Diamond Kings was a small
set by anyones standards.
150 cards with 101-150 short printed.
There was an update released in late
November 2002 that included 10 Diamond Kings.
So far the collection looks like this . . .
All 150 base cards and short prints (101-150) in multiple quantities
All 10 of the Update set (issued in Dec. 2002) in multiple quantities
25 card Heritage insert set
15 card Originals insert set
10 card Timeline insert set
25 card T204 insert set #'d to 1,000
All 150 + 10 card Update Bronze Foil parallels(not numbered, but 5-6 per box)
All 150 + 10 card Update Silver Foil parallels(#'d to 400)
All 150 + 10 card Update Gold Foil parallels(#'d to 100)
All 100 Diamond Cut Collection, 30 Autographs (from Vlad to Pujols), 50 jerseys and 20 bats (including Ruth & Clemente)
16 of the 48 Recollection Collection Diamond Kings Buy backs (on-card autographs numbered ridiculously low). These are by far the toughest cards from this glorius set.
