I got my 85-87 set of "large" diamond kings. I will begin posting pics of the RBIers from the set. Feel free to discuss them as you will.

Both of them look like brownie hounds.

That's all of the RBI'ers from the 3 sets.
Sure, there are other RBI'er Diamond Kings, but Donruss only made this "Large" set for 3 years.
RBI'ers are larger than life!
nice work on the postage ryno. i think those artist's renderings suck. some of those guys look like other players on their team, or not like the player at all. look at george bell... looks like tony fernandez to me. and doug decinces needs a larger adams apple.

Blame Dick Perez. He's the bastard responsible for it all.

The artistry is quite horrible, but I like those cards anyways.

Or ugly one.
Ummmm, is Kevin McReynolds on the black or grey cart?
Wow...
I forgot Sutton had a stint with the Brew-Crew!

Funny, this also made me recall a dream I had recently, I have no idea where I was (some sort of RBI tournament) and someone was playing on a gray cart and before the game it you could choose the weather conditions (rain or no rain) similar to SEGA tecmo super bowl II. I claimed that on the black cart you could not choose the weather conditions it was random whether or not there was rain, strange.
That's a lot of facial hair. Tons of nose ticklers.
I found it amusing that the little pic of Don Sutton pitching is almost entirely comsumed by his pube fro

That is fucking funny... Dreams make no fucking sense, I love dem...
If they made Dee-Nee kings for each of the 10 teams (we'll include Am and Na for fun), who would you pick for each team?
CA - Reggie
Bo - Rice
Dt - Gibby
Mn - Gaeti (he murders me)
Ho - Ryan? Lopes?
NY - Drugs
Stl - Tudor? Morris? (I have no idea, I might go with Vince)
SF- Chili
Am - McGwire
Na - The Hawk
CA - Reggie
Bo - Rice
Dt - DaEvans
Mn - Hrbek
Ho - Garner
NY - Gooden
Stl - JClark
SF- WClark
Am - Bell
Na - Dawson
CA - Reggie
Bo - Armas
Dt - Evans
Mn - Laudnr (don't know why, but he always comes thru for me)
Ho - Ryan
NY - Straw
Stl - Lindmn
SF- Clark
Am - McGwire
Na - Dawson

My only difference with FightOn is that I'd replace Garner with N.Ryan for Houston.
Maybe switch Chili Davis with The Thrill.
I'm biased to Nails Garners (I'm stunned you aren't) - he might not have the best stats, but he's the heart and soul of Ho.
I picked Nolan over Garner for the same reason i picked Gooden over Strawberry. I'm in a "pitching dominates" mood. Ask me again next week and I might give you a different answer.
Based on how they perform for me:
Ca - Jackson
Dt - Evans
Bo - RBI
Mn - Bush
Ho - Reynolds
NY - Strawberry
Stl - Lindeman
SF - Spilman
Ca: Jackson
Bo: Baylor
Dt: Trammel
Mn: Hrbek
Ho: Ryan
NY: Gooden
SL: Clark
SF: Davis
Am: Bell (I believe the DK should be a starter, or I'd have picked McGwire)
Na: Raines
As with Gantry's picks, my picks are based on how they perform for me, not their stats/ratings. Raines is my favorite player to use in the game.
