I picked up some Prizm, Diamond Kings, and Big League.

The eyes should be in the exact middle of the head. On this card there is an inch of face below his eyes, only half an inch of head above.

Puckett, Bench, Brett and certainly Jackie are great as well. <br />I think if I had to create a set I would roll out a very similar checklist to Diamond Kings. I appreciate the legends and the forgotten stars just as much as the veterans and rookies. <br />That's my first look at DK this year. Thanks for posting the pics!

There were some packs of Select and Diamond Kings, but they aren’t my cup of tea. Glad you were able to pull some keepers out of the box and hope your Series 2 packs are good.

If there were also Negro League stars, that would be cool, too.<br /><br />I like the look of the Puckett Aficionado and especially the Guerrero DK, as the 1992/1993 DK designs were always my favorites.
