The Hottest Babes: Appreciating Babe Ruth’s Presence in 2015 Diamond Kings Baseball

April 27, 2015

Panini America 2015 Diamond Kings Baseball Babe Ruth (17)

You can tell by the box. You can tell by this blog. You can tell by the buzz. For the first time in a decade, Babe Ruth is returning to a Panini America product. In a comeback performance for the ages, Diamond Kings Baseball returns to the marketplace this week — and it’s packing the game’s most legendary diamond king in the heart of the order.

Ruth’s resplendent array of Diamond Kings includes cards that are suitable for framing . . . and some that already are framed . . . miniature masterpieces . . . memorabilia cards that majestically transform the Sultan of Swat into the Sultan of Swatch . . . and one epic cut-signature card.

Over the course of the last several weeks, we’ve showcased bits and pieces of 2015 Diamond Kings Baseball’s potent, Bambino-powered lineup. Today, we present them in their finished glory. The Diamond Cuts card that features a pencil-signed autograph from the 1928 World Series. The pinstriped splendor of memorabilia cards in both traditional and miniature format. The bold base cards. They’re all shown in the must-see gallery that follows.

Enjoy the gallery and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for continued coverage of 2015 Diamond Kings Baseball.

    Roughly 100 years later, Babe Ruth still draws gasps from fans and elicits a hum of excitement! This is a very special collection and man oh man, I can’t wait to see what some of these cards do on the secondary market.

    The cards look amazing and I really like the textured feel to them… will all the Ruth’s be live or will they be redemptions?

    Hey all, I managed to pull one of the Ruths! Numbered 3/10. Very excited! Great job by Panini on this release, I love the look of the cards from the two boxes I busted! The one I pulled was one of the framed regular-sized cards. I was impressed by how nice the frame looked. Oftentimes the framed cards come out damaged and such, but this looked lovely. Link to my blowout thread is available as my website, feel free to check it out.
