Here are some interesting facts and statistics about these sets:

Since the Diamond Kings were intended to highlight the stars from each team, many of the bigger names of the 80's are included in these sets.

As of this edited post, the 7 sets include 28 Hall of Famers...4 of them have cards in 2 different sets. So a total of 32 cards depict HOFers. Here they are listed by set:
1985 - Ryne Sandberg, Bert Blyleven, Cal Ripken, Jim Rice, Don Sutton, and Tony Gwynn
1986 - Goose Gossage, Tony Perez, Andre Dawson, and Harold Baines
1987 - Ozzie Smith, George Brett, Kirby Puckett, Dave Winfield, and Jack Morris
1988 - Tim Raines, Paul Molitor, Andre Dawson, Cal Ripken, and Alan Trammell
1989 - Robin Yount, Tony Gwynn, Carlton Fisk and Fred McGriff
1990 - Ken Griffey Jr, John Smoltz, and Nolan Ryan
1991 - Craig Biggio, Barry Larkin, Roberto Alomar, Ryne Sandberg, and Edgar Martinez

In addition, some of the cards depict guys who would probably be in the Hall of Fame if not for being banned, or suspected of steroid usage - Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, Rafael Palmeiro, etc.

As of this edited post, there are 14 different deceased players, 2 of them appearing on cards in 2 different sets, so 16 cards total depicting deceased players:
1985 - Dan Quisenberry, Joaquin Andujar, Charlie Lea, Tony Gwynn, Claudell Washington & Don Sutton
1986 - Rick Mahler
1987 - Chris Brown & Kirby Puckett
1988 - Bob Welch, Ivan Calderon, & Tony Fernandez
1989 - Tony Gwynn, Dave Henderson, & Jeff Robinson
