The Diamondbacks Collection: 50 of the Greatest Cards in Sports Collecting History. Ken Kendrick, managing general partner of the Arizona Diamondbacks, has compiled an amazing array of sports cards that is unsurpassed. From the famous 1909–1911 PSA 8 T206 Honus Wagner, to the 1948 Leaf PSA 9 Jackie Robinson, to the 1948 Bowman PSA 8 George Mikan rookie card, this prestigious collection consists of 50 of the highest-graded and most sought-after cards in the hobby. The players immortalized on these cards are sports legends, and the admiration for these stars prompted Kendrick to collect their cards in the first place. A comprehensive narrative about each player’s personal and professional life is included, giving us a glimpse of the human element of these great athletes. Some endured the burden of racial discrimination, some lost prime years to military service, some died too young, and others went on to lucrative careers after their playing days were over. Written and assembled by Tom and Ellen Zappala, with John Malori, and contributions from Joe Orlando, the publication details the story behind the most iconic cardboard gems ever assembled in any private collection. This amazing collection showcases each card from the book.
