I'm a huge fan of the classic Diamond Kings. Dick Perez is a giant among sports artists and has been a staple in trading cards for decades. All the 1984 Diamond Kings have this early printing error where the Perez-Steele Galleries was missing the E in Steele. Minor, forgettable, but none the less a corrected error. In the days where inserts were rare and long before relics and autographed cards these cards commanded a little more dinero. Overall this is one of my favorite Diamond Kings designs and a great looking card. Even if it's missing an E.

ReplyDeleteAs You probably already know, the corrected version of this card, along with the other 25 Diamond Kings cards in this set were only issued in 1984 Donruss Factory Sets.
