Payday Pack - A Trio Of Legends

This year's Panini Diamond Kings has a lot going for it - it's a good looking set that is cheap and affordable, plus the base is only 150 cards. Why wouldn't I want to try and complete it? Oh yeah, the fact that 1/3 of the cards are short prints! How annoying. Still, the idea of adding some legends from yesteryear on the cheap lured me to another pack, and I can't say I was disappointed.

3rd Place

2019 Panini Diamond Kings
#10 Joe Wood

This is officially my first card of Hall of Fame legend "Smokey" Joe Wood! I've said it already, but it bears repeating - the lack of a MLB license doesn't hurt with card featuring players from the early 1900's.

2nd Place

2019 Panini Diamond Kings
#29 Jackie Robinson

Granted, a white "B" or the now retired 42 would have been nice here, but it's still nice to add another Jackie Robinson to the collection!

1st Place

2019 Panini Diamond Kings - DK205 Series
#205-25 Mickey Mantle

It pains me to give 1st place to a Yankee, but this insert just looks amazing!
