CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS
• Black Diamond is a high-end product and the first of the season to feature an extensive selection of premium autograph and memorabilia cards for the 2022-23 rookie class!
• The latest edition of Black Diamond sports a 100-card base set (#’d to 349) which features all-new Red (#’d to 75), Blue (#’d to 25), Green (#’d to 10) and Gold (#’d 1-of-1) parallels. In addition to the new parallels, keep an eye out for Pure Black Auto (Varied #’ing), Pure Black Premium Relics (Varied #’ing), Diamond Relics (#’d to 5) and Pure Black Diamond Relics (#’d 1-of-1) parallels.
• Look for coveted Diamond Relic Rookies cards! Each card in this rookie set boasts one to four diamond relics. The greater the prospect, the more diamond relics the card will feature. Every card in the set and its four parallels - which includes the all-new Purple parallel - are #’d to 99 or less, including the highly-sought after 1-of-1 Pure Black parallels.
• After a successful 2021-22 debut, the Band of Color insert set returns featuring veterans #’d to 22 and rookies #’d to 23! Each card in this colorful set features six diamond relics, each a different color: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.
• Keep an eye out for Gemography cards! This longtime classic Black Diamond autograph insert #’d to 25 boasts a mix of current stars and top rookies. The parallel lineup has also been expanded with the addition of a Purple (#’d to 10) parallel to the existing Ruby (#’d to 15), Emerald (#’d to 5) and Pure Black (#’d 1-of-1) parallels.
• Collect a variety of Diamond Stars, Diamond Legends and Diamond Futures cards featuring Silver Spectrum Light FX. In addition to the regular cards #’d to 299, we’ve added a Purple (#’d to 49) parallel to go along with the sought-after Auto (Varied #’ing), Premium Relic Auto (Varied #’ing), Purple Diamond Relic Auto (#’d to 10) and Pure Black Diamond Relic Auto (#’d 1-of-1) parallels!
• The Jewels of the Draft autograph patch cards are back! These popular and colorful cards featuring 2022-23 rookies will enhance any collection. Collect Veteran Jewels of the Draft cards too. All cards in both sets are #’d to 99 or less.
• NEW! The all-new Shimmering Signatures die-cut insert set will be a hit with all collectors. These cards feature Silver Spectrum Light FX and a checklist comprised of active stars and retired legends. Look for low-#’d Spectrum parallels as well.
• Every pack includes, on average, one Exquisite Collection® chase card! The Black Diamond Exquisite cards feature an exciting array of rookie and veteran subsets, all serially-#’d. Look for all-new Silver Spectrum and Gold Spectrum parallels of the Exquisite Collection® Moments and Exquisite Collection® Extra Exquisite cards.
• NEW! The Habs Retired Numbers Patches insert set features retired stars from the legendary organization alongside a manufactured patch emulating their retired number banners! Each card is #’d to 99. Lucky collectors will pull rare Gold (select players) and Gold Auto (select players) parallels. Both parallels are #’d to the legends’ jersey number.
• Expand your Black Diamond Team Logo Jumbo Patches collection! This year’s set is a collection of 45 players broken into five subsets - nine players each from the 2022 All-Star Game, and the Anaheim Ducks, Florida Panthers, Minnesota Wild and Toronto Maple Leafs organizations. Each card features a piece of a complete embroidered manufactured logo patch. All nine cards from any subset can be displayed in a nine-pocket sheet as a completed puzzle. There is also patch variant set featuring a retro team logo patch!
Collect up to three Gold parallel sets of the entire regular collection, whereby the puzzle format is swapped out for a single decorative piece featuring a Full Team Logo (#’d to 15), a Full Team Alternate Logo (#’d to 5) and an NHL Shield Logo (#’d 1-of-1).
There are also Rookie Team Logo Jumbo Patch cards!
