The Home Run King from The Diamond King

I got a package this week from The Diamond King. It was unexpected, but after opening it and seeing what was inside I remembered that he had commented on a recent post about having some of these cards for me.

31 different Barry Bonds Home Run History cards that I needed. Not only did I need all of them, but most of them are from early in the set which is good because I didn't have many of those. This puts me at 542 unique Bonds cards, so I am just 220 away. Still a lot, but certainly doable. I'd like to finish this project this year.


Once I reach 762 different Bonds cards I'm going to put the Home Run History cards in order and then fill in the rest with all the other cards of his that I have. I think it's going to be great! Thanks Kevin!

    1. It's a great concept, but I wish they would have used more photos. They only used a couple different photos. Topps did it with Mantle and A-Rod as well.

  4. It'd be super cool to build this set. There's a local YouTuber that I'm pretty sure accomplished the feat.

    1. I love Aaron. More than Bonds for sure, but I think this is a cool project.
