First Impressions - 2019 Diamond Kings

Every now and then, Wally World surprises me. I went there with the intention of buying some recently released Topps Big League. Of course it didn't reach my little corner of the world yet, but I did find packs of the Panini Diamond King set. In years past, I've only been able to find these in boxes, which is usually more than I want to spend for the product. Not that this pack was cheap ($9.98) but it was worth this one time purchase just so I can give it a proper blog review!

As with all things Panini, the lack of a license hurts the product, but not as bad as you would think. I'll refer you to my Donruss review here. The lack of a license is less of  a problem with Diamond King, as a good number of cards feature players from long, long ago.

#24 Christy Mathewson

The first card from the pack is a beautiful rendering of Hall of Fame legend Christy Mathewson. The uniform, the glove, the park - this card just takes you back in time, doesn't it? The overall design is interesting. I'm not sure what they're trying to do here. Fortunately, it doesn't detract from the overall look.

#81 Ozzie Albies
#38 Jose Altuve
#95 Mookie Betts

I'm on a Mookie hot streak! I pulled a card of his with the Donruss pack I reviewed too! Keep it up, Panini!

#53 Kyle Freeland
#11 Al Simmons
#34 Miguel Cabrera
#205-21 Jose Altuve (DK205 Series insert)

The first insert of the pack is this really cool retro DK205 card of Jose Altuve. (i'm aparently on a Jose Altuve insert hot streak as well...) I like this design a lot!

#S10 Victor Robles (Squire insert)

This insert, however, not so much. The design doesn't fit the overall aesthetic of the set, and Squires is a really odd name for an insert.  Is Robles supposed to be training for knighthood or something?

#TH-9 Nolan Arenado (Team Heroes insert)
#JJ4 Joe Jackson CL (Joe Jackson Collection insert)

A whole insert set dedicated to Shoeless Joe Jackson? Yes please! Personally, I think his lifetime ban from baseball (and more importantly the Hall of Fame) should have ended when his lifetime did. Why are we still punishing this guy?

#MG4 Clayton Kershaw (Masters Of The Game insert)
#77 Cedric Mullins (Red Frame parallel)
#124 Shohei Ohtani (VAR)

Ohtani presents a good opportunity to look at the back. Again, Panini doesn't know how to maximize their card space. One cool thing they did however is change the wood frame on the back to silver for the base card variations. I like it when they make variations easy to spot!

#85 Rickey Henderson
#43 Corbin Burns (RC)
#1 Stan Musial

Stan Musial has the honor of being card #1 of the set. another instance where the card has that great feel of yesteryear, despite the lack of team names or logos.

#18 Carl Erskine
#75 Salvador Perez
#32 Brad Keller (RC)

Overall, I really like these cards. They are artwork you hold in your hand, plain and simple.  hope I have the opportunity to buy some more!

Repack Haiku #104 (Nigel Wilson)

Florida Marlins'

First pick in expansion draft

Just three career hits

1993 Stadium Club #720 Nigel Wilson

Two of those hits were home runs however!

Sometimes You Need To Lose Before You Can Win

Back in March, I wrote a post about the 2003 Boston Red Sox, a team that despite a historic offense failed to even make the World Series. That post was done as an entry for a contest sponsored by Brian at Collecting Cutch. The baseball gods were with me, because although the 2003 Red Sox lost, I won!

I got my prize from Brian last week. Additionally, he sent a few extra cards. Obviously, as the foremost collector of Andrew McCutchen cardboard, he sent along a few of his calling cards as it were:

 

I do believe this is my first card of McCutchen as a Phillie. He still looks weird to me clean shaven (stupid Yankee policy...)

Brian also included some Red Sox power:

You just can't go wrong with Mookie and Big Papi!

The prize, however...oh that prize! When Brian announced what the contest winner would get, I just knew I had to throw my hat in:

A Carl Yastrzemski card with a relic of Fenway's historic Green Monster? Are you kidding me? This card is far and away the best relic in my collection, and could very well be my new favorite card in my entire collection. I'm still in awe that this card is in my hands!

Thanks for the contest Brian!

I May Be So Close, But Bo Hit The Target!

Earlier this week, I showed off some great cards Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!) sent a part of my Time Travel Trading Project. Every time he sends me cards I have to praise how generous of a person he is because he always goes above and beyond. This recent mailing was no exception. In addition to the Time Travel lot, he also mentioned he had a few cards from my So Close! page. He was able to shorten the list of cards considerably:

Fleer had some really cool insert sets in the late 80's/early 90's. For what it's worth, I'm down to one card needed for the 1990 Fleer All-Stars insert set (Harold Baines)!

Bo also inquired if I had any sets I was working on. I've always had it in my mind to try and complete the 1981 Topps set, and shared my list of needs with him. He sent a few of those my was as well:

I only need about 80 cards now for this set. I may actually complete it one day!

The ironic part is that Bo's blog has been doing a regular series on the 1981 Topps set. It's quite informative. I even learned about a Hall of Fame cameo on one of my favorite cards from the set - Not once in 38 years did I make the connection! Anyway, if you're not a regular reader of Baseball Cards Come To Life!, you should be. Thanks again, Bo!

Time Travel Trading Update #30

 I'm sorry, but there will be no story for this post. Creatively, I'm tapped out. I enjoy writing these little tales, but after all this time I feel like they're getting repetitive. I'm toying with the idea of rebooting the stories, and actually telling one long narrative as opposed to multiple one-shot shorts. That would take some serious planning, however. We'll see...

**********

Once again, Bo from Baseball Cards Come To Life! has come through with another great trade. In sending out his cards, I reached another milestone - I have now sent out exactly 100 cards since this project has began! Considering I only started out with just a pack of 13, that's an impressive total. I couldn't have done it without so many great trade partners! Here's the latest and greatest cards joining the stack:





I see what you did there, Bo!






Look at all those beautiful '65s!


Traders needed! I'm looking for anyone willing to trade a card older than what they receive! I can't keep relying on Bo (and Gary for that matter) to keep the flow of cards coming and going! I need fresh blood! Make me an offer!

The Time Travel Trading Project is simple in concept. I started out with a random pack of 2018 Topps Series 1 baseball cards. My aim was to trade every card in that pack for something older. Each card I receive in turn is then made available for trade, with the goal to get the oldest card I can get.

Number of trades completed: 34
Unique trading partners: 24

Number of cards mailed out: 100!
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1956

Number of cards received: 258
Year of oldest card received: 1938

Payday Pack - Finally!

I haven't had much luck with the few packs of Heritage I've bought so far. Despite a large number of Red Sox cards in the set, I haven't pulled many at all. Fortunately, a recent trade took care of most of the team, but I still lack the Red Sox highlights from the World Series subset. Will this pack be of any help?

3rd Place

2019 Heritage #367 Bryce Harper (AS)

The packaging on the Heritage hangers is flimsy enough where I can make out the card on the back. I adore the All-Star subset, and seeing Harper on the back made the choice between packs easy.

2nd Place

2019 Heritage #444 Kenta Maeda

Maeda becomes the first short print I've pulled from any of this year's product. Love that cloudy sky!

1st Place

2019 Heritage #310 Red Sox
Celebrate World Series Title Win!

If the post's title didn't make it obvious, I finally pulled a Red Sox World Series card! I've never been so happy to have a card of two men hugging! 1 down, 3 to go!

6 Degrees Of Mookie - The Warren Newson Connection

It's time once again for "6 Degrees Of Mookie" - the fabulous game show blog post where I take a random card in my collection and attempt to connect it to current Red Sox superstar Mookie Betts! Let's take a look at today's contestant!

Random TCDB Card: 

1992 Score # 398 Warren Newson (RP)

Newson has a rather nice action shot on his 1992 Score card. He spent a impressive 8 years in the big leagues, all in the American League. He played with guys who had longer careers, such as...

Teammates in the 1992 Score set
# 398 Warren Newson (RP)	#893 Frank Thomas (DT)

I always thought 1992 Score was a great set, and the Dream Team subset is one of the reasons why. This simple shot of "The Big Hurt" looks normal until you realize he's holding an oversized bat.

Teammates in the 2009 Topps set
#24 Frank Thomas	#46 Brad Ziegler (ASR)

While Frank Thomas was winding down his Hall of Fame career, Brad Ziegler was just starting to make his mark. Guys who throw sideways always look weird on their cards. That arm is made of rubber!

Teammates in the 2016 Topps Update set
#US127 Brad Ziegler	#US201 Mookie Betts (AS)

The Red Sox acquired Ziegler in a mid-season trade in 2016. He signed with Miami after the season and retired last year. 2016 was the year Mookie started breaking out as a superstar, finishing 2nd in the MVP Award race.

Degrees of Mookie: 3

Repack Haiku #101 (Hensley Meulens)

His "Bam Bam" nickname

Came from Flintstones character

With impressive strength 

1989 Donruss #547 Hensley Meulens

 

First Impressions - 2019 Donruss

I have a soft spot for Donruss. During the heyday of the junk wax era was when I collected heavily, and although a lot of their designs haven't aged well, I've always liked them. Whereas Topps usually went the safe route and produced simple, pleasing designs, Donruss tried to be bold with their borders. I appreciated that.

That soft spot led me to purchasing a pack of this year's product. (That, and the fact it's cheap.) This is the part where everyone laments the lack of an MLB license. To be honest, the lack of a logo doesn't bother me. It's no different than those unlicensed oddballs I enjoyed in the 80's. What's weird however, is that the lack of the team names bothers me more, especially with 2 teams apiece in New York and Chicago. I think the worst thing about the lack of a license is that most of us remember Donruss as it once was, and today's product is just a sad reminder of that. No matter how good of a product Donruss puts out now, it will never hold a candle to those junk wax cards.

Let's see what Donruss is doing these days...

#72 Chris Archer

The honorary first card of the pack. I like the front design.The angled lines don't take away from the main photo, although the gray triangle in the lower right corner feels like wasted space.

#41 Jonathan Loaisiga (RR)
#95 Justin Turner
#61 Juan Soto
#108 Jon Lester
#80 Adrian Beltre

The backs...well, they are backs, aren't they? Lots of wasted space, and I'm not even showing you the even worse backside of a Diamond King card. The print could have easily been enlarged. At least we get an Adrien Beltre sunset card with career stats!

#39 Jake Bauers (RR)
#87 Ronald Acuna Jr.
#113 Yoan Moncada
#5 Adam Jones (DK) (Independence Day parallel)

Now this is a parallel I can get behind! The blue border with white stars looks amazing. This is the bold innovation I was talking about...

#135 Mike Foltynewicz (Holo Red parallel)
#AA1 Jose Altuve (Action All Stars insert)

This is a nice looking card, and I was all set to praise it until I entered it into my collection on the TCDB. That's when I learned about all the different shape parallels this has. Those are the kind of parallels that annoy me. Diamond? Rapture? Pink Fireworks? Ugh. This is "Vector" one if you care.

#219 Sean Reid-Foley (RC)
#172 Justin Verlander
#223 Josh James (RC)
#151 Carlos Carrasco
#249 Nick Martini (RC)
#165 Javier Baez
#227 Ryan Borucki (RC)
#144 Jose Martinez
#231 Framber Valdez (RC)

Donruss pays tribute to it's 1985 set as well. I wish they went with the original red stripes here. The '85 set always reminded me of the A-Team van. I pity the fool that doesn't respect the past!

#121 Aaron Judge (Photo VAR)
#13 Mitch Haniger (DK)
#191 Michael Conforto
#152 Paul Goldschmidt
#12 Matt Chapman (DK)
#61 Juan Soto ("Juanjo" VAR)

Baseball Reference lists his nickname as "Childish Bambino" which is way cooler. I wonder if they can fit that on his next Players' Weekend jersey?

#184 Lorenzo Cain
#133 Walker Buehler ("@Buehlersdayoff VAR")
#14 Shohei Ohtani
#223 Josh James (RC) (Photo VAR)
#101 Mookie Betts (Photo VAR)

Getting to the end of the pack, I was starting to worry I'd get shut out of my favorite team, but luckily I scored two among the final 3 cards of the pack.

#16 Ronald Acuna Jr. (DK)
#197 Xander Bogaerts

This isn't a horrible set. It may be even one of the better ones of the post-license Panini era. I don't know if it's just me and my one pack but I find the player collation odd.  Just this one pack I got two different cards of Juan Soto, Ronald Acuna Jr, and Josh James. Last year Donruss marked their special variations on the back, but I didn't notice any such tells in this years set. Still, it might be worthy of another pack buy.

My Wife Is Mad I Brought Dirt Into The House...

Warning: This isn't a baseball card related post. However, it is a post about baseball, and fandom, and free collectable stuff.

I've been following a new blog on the scene called Corner of Ashburn and Yawkey (A Phillies fan in Red Sox Nation). In addition to some great autographs he's acquired, he also  has shown off fan packs he's received - free stuff from sports teams!

I was motivated to email the Boston Red Sox (fanfeedback@redsox.mlb.com) and request a free fan package for myself. Just a little over a week later, I got a envelope from the Red Sox!

Included in my envelop of swag was:

• a letter from Red Sox Ambassador Phil Derick (a nice touch!)
• a sticker
• a team schedule (love that trophy on the front!)
• a picture of Dustin Pedroia
• a small bag of Fenway dirt!

My wife, a Yankees fan, was not nearly as amused as I was. It was an awesome surprise, and after the rough morning I had, it was a welcome bit of joy. (Our pet rabbit fell and dislocated his clavicle - he's alright though, and on the mend. Still, not the best way to start your day!)

My oldest daughter was intrigued enough that she asked if I could get her an Orioles fan pack. (The compromise of a Red Sox fan/Yankee fan marriage - raise the kids neutral!) So I emailed the Orioles and requested two - one for each daughter. I actually got a personalized response back, letting me know they'd be happy to send both girls a fan pack (FYI - She also politely informed me that fan pack requests are usually one per household per year and that I should request fan packs in the future via postcard. Good to know if the girls want one next year!)

Before the week was out, they got their fan packs! They got:

 

• a generic typed letter that served more as an ad than a letter
• two stickers
• a team schedule
• a picture of Dylan Bundy
• a picture of the Oriole Bird
• a brochure for a tour of Camden Yards

So there you go! Kudos to the Red Sox and Orioles organizations for being so nice! Thank you!

Also, go check out and follow Corner of Ashburn and Yawkey! It's a good blog!

Repack Haiku #100 (And The Mystery Player Is...)

The other two are Dennis Eckersley and Derek Lowe.

**********

Thanks to everyone who entered the contest! I hope everyone had as much fun learning the trivia as I did! Before we pick our winner, here's all the clues that were available:

Clue #1: He's a former All-Star. (Twice!)
Clue #2: He was once traded for a former Cy Young Award winner. (Sparky Lyle)
Clue #3: He was almost traded for a Hall of Famer. (Almost traded for Rod Carew in 1979!)
Clue #4: He was drafted by Texas Rangers. (In 1977, 10th overall!)
Clue #5: He has never played for the Boston Red Sox. (Nobody's perfect)
Clue #6: He has played in both the American and National Leagues. (5 teams total)
Clue #7: He was born in Northern California. (San Jose)
Clue #8: He once struck out 21 batters in a minor league game. (1978 for the Tulsa Drillers)
Clue #9: He has three World Series rings, but none of them from his playing days! (As the Giants' pitching coach)

Did anyone find the three hidden clues?

After Clue #2 was posted, I hid this clue on my The Golden Sox Project page: The Cy Young winner he was traded for was once a member of the Boston Red Sox.

After Clue #7 was posted, I put another clue on the Repack Haiku page, giving where the mystery player may have been listed alphabetically. Also, the letters I put an asterisk by were the ones that would be in "Dave Righetti"

The last clue was after Clue #9, and could be found on my profile. It gave a hint towards the year and brand of the card.

Four people correctly guessed Dave Righetti (Bo, Fuji, Jafronious, and Michael Ott) with Michael Ott scoring three points and everyone else scoring four. No one correctly guessed the year (1990) or the brand (Donruss).

Since we have a three way tie, and since I feel bad for leaving just one person out of the fun, I'm going to use Random.org to pick a random number between 1 and 15. Bo gave the first correct answer, so he gets numbers 1-4, one for each point he earned. Fuji gets numbers 5-8, Jafronius gets 9-12, and Michael Ott gets 13-15.

Since Dave Righetti mostly wore #19 during his career, I randomize it 19 times. Whoever has the number wins! Sound fair?

After pressing the Generate button 19 times, we have our winner:

Congrats Fuji!
