The famed line of Diamond Kings paintings cards, which Donruss debuted in 1982 have had a rich and memorable place in the hobby but they’ve never hit the basketball court.
Until now.
Panini America unveiled on Monday plans for 2009-10 Court Kings, a high-end art-driven basketball set that will arrive on June 2 packing 11 cards per pack
Each pack will include four autograph or memorabilia cards (a minimum of one autograph), three base cards (all limited to 325) one bronze parallel, one 5x7 Box Topper and three other cards.
Among the highlights for this one? Redemptions for one of 120 16x20 lithographs signed by Panini spokesman Kobe Bryant.
