Dean sent me this card alongside the Gypsy Queen card I blogged about yesterday. My wife, Cathy, remarked that the combination of green background and Tony's pose made him look more like a golfer.
Card Number 580: Panini All-Time Diamond Kings, 2020; #ATDK-1
Tony was given the first card in this 25-card insert series.
0It's a very green card, but I like green so I'm not complaining. I can't find any reference to an actual artist on this card, or online, so I'm guessing the 'art' has been done by a Panini staffer.
The back is understated. But it's also turquoise, which is a happy colour and reminiscent of the early 90s. I'm going to add the description of Tony as a "sweet-swinging lefty" to my selection of cardback descriptions. There's a bonus phrase as well - "the San Diego standout".
Here are the 3 Diamond Kings cards from 2020 together. They are all regular versions of the insert cards. Parallels exist, but I don't have any. (Yet!)
A big thank you to Dean for sending me this and completing my triptych of Diamond Kings cards.
Total: 580 cards
32 2020 Gwynns is pretty darn impressive. I don't think I even have enough to fill a 9 pocket page. As for Panini... I'm usually not into their products, but I'll still add singles to my player and team collections.
