The Diamondbacks Collection: 50 of the Greatest Cards in Sports Collecting History details the story behind the most iconic cardboard gems ever assembled in any private collection. Ken Kendrick, managing general partner of the Arizona Diamondbacks, has compiled an amazing array of sports cards that is unsurpassed. Most collectors first collect for the love of the player and Ken Kendrick is no exception. Williams, DiMaggio, Robinson, Mays, Cobb, Thorpe, Gibson, and the rest are all here. The first 20 cards discussed in this book are the most sought-after in the world. The remaining 30 cards fall in right behind them. All are presented in full color with a discussion of the card and a player narrative.
