Complete Checklist of Donruss Hall of Fame Diamond King Puzzles

Complete Checklist of Donruss Hall of Fame Diamond King Puzzles

By Mike Smeth | Nov 14, 2008

As many collectors will remember, Donruss distributed puzzle pieces in a number of their baseball cards products from the early 80's until the early 90's.  The most popular of these puzzle inserts were Donruss Hall of Fame Diamond King Puzzles.

The Hall of Fame Diamond King puzzle line appeared in various Donruss and Leaf products from 1982 - 1992.  Hall of Fame Diamond Kings Puzzles showcased a total of 15 different Hall of Famers, each of which were depicted on seperate puzzels.  A reader contacted me a few days ago in hopes that I could provide him with a complete checklist of all the Hall of Fame Diamond King Puzzles ever produced.  After some digging around, I found (and confirmed) the full checklist which I've posted below:

    Your Donruss puzzle list is incomplete. There are two Rod Carew puzzles. Can you update your list?

    In my collection of puzzles, I have all the ones you refer to. I also have a donruss puzzle of Ted William I've be working on form the 2002 Donruss Orginal. So maybe you should update your list of Donruss puzzles.
