2004 Diamond Kings

Description

2004 Diamond Kings is a 175-card set released in February, 2004. Dubbed by Donruss-Playoff "The Art & Soul of Major League Baseball," all cards feature original artwork specially commissioned for this set. The product is also known rather infamously for the absurd number of parallels.

The last 25 base set cards are short-printed and also come in a Sepia variation.

Each 12-pack Hobby box will yield two autographed and/or game-used memorabilia cards.
