Welcome!

The iconic Diamond Stars set consists of 108 cards issued over 3 years between 1934 and 1936 with numerous front and back variations. I've identified 11 notable variations I'll be tracking down as part of my overall set. Several decades following the set's original release, 53 extended series cards have been produced through "what if" sets issued in 1981, 1993 and 2014.

I'm planning on this blog having exactly 172 posts - one for each of the cards in the set, the 11 notable variations and the more recent tribute cards that serve as suitable counterparts to the original. In the process, I hope to learn more about each of the players and managers featured on these cards. So let's make tracks and hopefully this thing comes up aces.
