2016 Panini Diamond Kings - One of my best hits ever!!!!

I feel pretty blessed living up here in the great white north.  Anchorage has two great card shops.  My wife had a date with her girlfriends Saturday afternoon so it was just me and my son for most of the day.  I decided to head down to Don's Sportscards to pick up a couple packs and check to see if there any deals to be had.  I ended up getting a couple cheap autos and relic cards off Don's drop board and picked up a couple packs of Diamond Kings and Gypsy Queen.

I'm not going to exaggerate this pack had what is one of my best hits of all time.  So I have to thank Don's grandson Nick for picking the pack out for me. Alright lets see what was in the pack.
The overall design is as good as a non-licensed product can get.


Got one of the three Brewers rookies in the set.




Drum Roll.....























While I would have loved a more seasoned well established player pulling a Super Prime One of One Studio Portraits dual patch auto of up and coming Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola was still pretty breath taking.

The fact that I'm a Phillies fan says enough about how much I love this pack. That card alone would make it my favorite break ever.

Congrats! I've never pulled a 1/1 myself. I was lucky enough to snag one in a break once, though, but it's not the same as pulling it out of a pack yourself I'm sure.
