All The Cubs Diamond Kings

I should have done this when Donruss came out, but I forgot.


Anthony Rizzo was selected by Panini to be the 2017 Cubs Donruss Diamond King.  This is is third appearance as a Diamond King.  That ties him with Ryne Sandberg for second place on the Cubs Diamond King list.  Sammy Sosa tops the list as a five time king.

SInce first arriving on the scene with the 1982 set, there have now been 26 Diamond King Cubs cards.

    Rick Wilkins was a Diamond King? I guess he did 30 Hrs in a season...

    I've always questioned (ponderered upon?) the choice of Mike Bielecki for the 90 slot after Ryno's fantastic 89 campaign.

    Awesome post. In my opinion, nothing beats Diamond Kings from 1992 and before.

    They gave Rizzo his third, and Kris Bryant doesn't even have one? Makes no sense to me.

    It was the first set I collected so I am biased, but the 1988 Donruss set of Diamond Kings are my favorite, and how can you go wrong with The Hawk.
