2015 Panini Diamond Kings Baseball Cards

Does anyone know if Kris Bryant mini (card #239) is considered an error card? They got him batting left-handed.

Great product. Loaded with Monster Pulls at a unbelievabley reasonable price per box. Look at what you can get for your buck when card companies dont have to pay the outrageous price for mlb liscense

Now that the calendar has rolled over to 2016, I grabbed a case of these at a greatly discounted price…and I am AMAZED at how INCREDIBLE these cards are! OUTSTANDING DESIGN, EXCELLENT INSERTS, LOADED WITH PRIMO EXTRAS! Out of all the purchases I made for 2015 cards, these are the ABSOLUTE BEST!

Beautiful cards. From the bast through every insert/auto/memorabilia card. All beautiful.

By the way, I believe the base parallels numbered /25 should be Sapphire, not Gold. The regular base cards have gold foil. I have a /25 card that has the same color foil as a /25 Sapphire version of a HOF Slugger insert card.

Love this product-
Nice design, although I wish panini was able to use logos. Love the old style look and the artistry on the cards. The inserts are nice and not too abundant, as well as the framed cards and minis. However, the best part of this product is the “boom for your buck”. Great auto checklist including Bryant, Pederson, and HOFamers. Bought 4 packs so far this year and I’ve pulled a Cano dual patch /5, a Pompey rookie auto relic, and a Trout dual patch /5. Super pleased with this product, might have to pick up a box soon!

Opened 2 boxes. One had a Barry bonds dual relic, and the other had a framed mini Joe Jackson relic.
Think I will convert from Topps.
This seems to have much more value for the price.

Excellent Product — The price is right at $65-$80, with two hits (memorabilia and/or autos) per box. The Cards are beautiful, with a distinctive canvas texture on both sides. Finally a set I can put in a binder and enjoy looking at. Bonus! I also liked the inserts as well, though some are stronger than others, I really enjoyed the Nickname “Also Known As” Sub-Set and the HOF Sluggers Sub-Set. But the Aficionados and DK Originals, not so much. Minis are done well, they don’t overwhelm the box (like Gypsy Queen for example). At only 2 per box, the minis are still fun to pull, which is very good. And some of the mini cards will also come with mini relics. The Framed card concept is the only thing I would get rid of. It creates way too many parallels IMHO. But I love the mix of autos, memorabilia, patches, jerseys and SP’s in this product. Also, pulling out a HOF player is always fun. I have so far, opened up 10 boxes, and have done very well. Easily a Five Star Product. Well done Panini.

— Chris Edwards – Are you sure your comments are for 2015 Diamond Kings? I’ve opened up 10 boxes and no redemptions.

What a great set I will buy a few more boxes. Donruss was one of my favorite non Topps sets. Cards are good stock box prices reasonable. Going to buy another box soon. Glad to see a new product that is not topps. I have bought many high dollar topps boxes to get dud cards great job panini I am a happy collector again

Normally I am okay with redemptions as I have had at best a few minor issues. However one issue that stood out from Panini is that after tickets, phone calls, and a manager who seems more interested in name dropping (an unfulfilled auto of someone who gave his son batting lessons, and Mike Yastremski (sp?) hasn’t signed his cards so the manager needed to call his grandfather Carl). End result, got replacements after 9 months of waiting of cards of different sets. I busted 3 boxes and got a total of 7 redemptions, I felt that perhaps they deserve another chance but yeah, not looking forward to the potential problem incoming. 2 Stars, got some nice hits non redemption but a bad experience and as many redemptions as hits and I will look elsewhere for my card fix.

Broke almost two cases and it was fun, fun, fun. I was hoping to hit one of the older players but the closest I got was Bill Dickey framed bat card and a super sweet framed mini patch of Eddie Mathews # 3/5 I also hit a cut auto of Stan Musial and I love the design of the cuts in this set. Panini did cuts right!. Other main hits were from the autograph Hall of Fame subset, hit Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson and then George Brett numbered to 10. Living in Texas it was cool to hit a Yu Darvish dual also numbered to 10. Panini did super on the design of the cards and love the mix of older players, current stars and rookie. In the last box I ripped got down to the last pack and still had yet to pull the second hit. Last pack contained a Kris Byant autographed dual jersey numbered to 64. Nice way to end the break. Good job Panini and good luck to you on your breaks.

Broke four boxes yesterday. Amazing product with pretty decent hits. One of my boxes had three hits and one had four for a total of nine hits!!

Better results than most high-end boxes.

Panini finally hit a home run with a baseball product. I couldn’t ask for a better product for the price point. My case yielded better hits than the average National Treasures break at 1/2 the cost.

Have no idea why they can’t release a checklist.

Panini’s Diamond Kings enjoyed a great deal of pre-release pub’, and the early peeks at the product prior to pack-out did nothing to dim the excitement.

The product went live yesterday and “going, going, GOOONE! HOME RUN, PANINI!” Diamond Kings IS a winner!

The base cards are very well-designed and are aesthetically pleasing. Although I have yet to see a checklist, and that would be my one criticism, the athletes that stepped from box to binder comprise the very best the sport has had to offer.
With regard to the base cards, “Card Backs” have become something of a lost art with information that can be extraordinarily mundane (do I care that Jeff Weaver enjoys long walks on the beach and had a Goldfish named “Bubbles” when he was 5? Ahhh, no.) to statistics that demand a PH.D to understand. Diamond Kings, however, provides collectors with a nice peep at the athlete’s career, coupled with a compelling nugget or two of information.

Parallels are not so numerous as to be meaningless! Yay! This is a pleasant development for a Hobby that has seen far too many “1 of 1’s.”

The Memorabilia and Autographs include some of the most recognizable names in all of sports, as well as some names that have been only rarely seen.

All of this, in a product with an MSRP of around $75? Sign ….. Me…. Up!

Great Job, Panini-

Yes, I agree with Gary,
I opened a case and they are nice cards, and will have to type in the cards I have but wont know whats missing until they get off their ass…

Ryan, Maybe you can get them to release the checklist..
They are ridiculous, Checklist should be made public before the product is out.

This product is a hit with me, the base set lineup is a sweet mix of HOFers, Current Stars and RCs. My 12 pack hobby box break was true to as advertised. No auto appeared for me but it did yield:

Decent amount of RCs And prospects

2 each of the Aficianado, AKA, DK Originals and HOF Sluggers inserts

Tanaka and Kirby Puckett framed Versions

Dustin Pedroia Mini GU bat #/99!

Joc Pederson RC #25/25!

and the Wow factor card for me…

Diamond Kings Timeline HOF Dual GU Bat card #13/25
Sam Crawford/ Ty Cobb (Tiger greats!)

Again love the design, texture and artistry; yet the only thing keeping me from giving 2015 Diamond Kings 5 stars is the absence of licensed logos on dipicted players uniforms.

Love the product, art work is classy and the thicker stock gives it a upscale feel. Lots of great pulls, exciting mix of all-time greats with current greats- a 200 card set with all good players- hardly a clunker in the group. Panini’s best set yet! Only one complaint. Where is the checklist???? This is urgent to complete sets and let my customers know what is available in the set.

Why is there no checklist of this product listed?

This looks like it can be a very good product with a good price to value ratio. But it’s been a really bad year for the collectors and a great year for the manufactures. So I learned my lesson to first wait for the checklist and second allow other people to open first and listen to their reviews.

Manufactures are shoving more and more loads of poo at higher and higher prices. Just waiting for the $500 a pack of 4 cards product to get my Dice K sticker auto?????

Wonder how many people made up a new curse word after opening their super high end box to get a Dice K sticker auto. The guy hasn’t been in the league in years and was a bust, yet the manufactures believed he was a HOFer.
