Description

1979 Diamond Greats is a 399-card Collector Issue produced by photographer Jack Wallin and released in four series of 100 cards. Each series contained 25 cards from four selected teams, and only the 16 pre-1961 expansion were included in the set.

Because these were produced by an individual without the use of modern printing equipment, the cards vary in terms of quality and even size. Although the cards are supposed to measure the standard 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" size, under and oversized cards exist.
