Tomorrow, 10/26, at 2:00pm at @yogiberramuseum.bsky.social! Plus a Q&A w/filmmaker @marqevans.bsky.social & Peggy Steele, part of Perez-Steele Galleries.

There's never been a player like Ichiro. In honor of his Hall of Fame induction, watch this scene from THE DIAMOND KING narrated by John Ortiz, which includes the great story of when Ichiro commissioned Dick Perez to duplicate a painting of his he saw in Cooperstown. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMC2...

In the movie The Diamond King, the picture below is shown - Dale Murphy, standing next to artist Dick Perez, being presented with a Perez portrait. I'd never seen the photo. Probably for the best. 11-year-old me couldn’t have handled it - Two heroes, one picture.

NO KINGS except for Diamond Kings. I finally watched “The Diamond King” tonight—the documentary about artist Dick Perez. I knew I was going to like it. But holy moly I was not ready for this. I mean, the art is great. But I fell for the person. Phenomenal. Go watch it.

Cool story! Won a giveaway on Twitter for a canvas print of the 1992 Donruss Frank Thomas Diamond Kings card that came directly from Dick Perez's studio to promote the Diamond King movie. Finally hung in the office. Whaddya think #cardsky? Rent the movie! www.thediamondkingmovie.com/watch

When @heavyjstudios.bsky.social writes about cards, you read. It's that simple. Another excellent piece - this time on Diamond Kings! www.si.com/collectibles...

Choosing just five “Essential Diamond Kings” for 1983 was pretty much an impossible task. In fact none of the cards pictured made my list! www.si.com/collectibles...
