Description

2003 Diamond Kings is a 200-card set released in two series. The first 176 cards were issued as part of the regular Diamond Kings product, with the last 26 cards in the base set short-printed. Card #176 was a late addition to the product as is also SPed at a rate even scarcer than that of the other SPs. A typical 24-pack Hobby box should yield eight SPs, six parallels, two inserts, and either an autograph or a game-used memorabilia card.

The final 24 cards were randomly inserted into packs of 2003 DLP Rookie/Traded at the rate of one-per-box.

Distribution

Hobby: 24 packs per box, five cards per pack (MSRP: $4). 20 boxes per case.
