Stopped by one of my LCS's,
Bosco's, here in Anchorage to check out the Geek Swap Meet and I also picked up a couple packs of 2019 Diamond Kings. Nothing crazy out of either pack, but I'll feature the best one out of the two and as a bonus I'll show off the insert from the second pack so you can get a look at that. Here are the odds on the pack.
First up is my lone Brewer card, one of three featured in the 150 card set, and it's Christian Yelich's SP card. As a matter of fact two of the three Brewers cards in the set are SPs. Overall I think the cards are beautiful. This set probably suffers the least from the lack of logos and the card are well designed and have a canvasy feel to them.
Let's check out the rest of the pack.
I do love that this set features not just current players, but also lots of HOFers, and lots of prewar guys to boot. Panini hasn't done a Cooperstown themed set in a few years. Maybe it's time they give it a go again.
I just realize that this pack actually had 3 rookies in it. Not too shabby.
My pack hit was this Shohei Ohtani DK205 insert. A nice looking homage to the 205 set. As a matter of fact the set features lots of vintagey inserts.
My other pack hit was this Lefty Williams 1919 Diamond Kings insert, which answers the questions what would Diamond Kings looked like 100 years ago and who would they have featured. I like it. There are also lots of other retro sets from Donruss past sprinkled through the product.
