This is Lamb's third year as part of the Opening Day set. His rookie card appeard in 2015, was skipped in 2016 and came back in the 2017 set.

The same photo was used for both Series 1 and the Diamondbacks Factory Team set. However, he did have a batting practice photo variation in Series 1.

Something I learned because of this card: Third base in the National League is loaded as evidenced by the three of the five candidates for the final spot on the 2017 National League All-Star team manning the hot corner. Jake Lamb bypassed that by already being the backup. And he wasn't even the token Dbacks representative as they had three other players selected.
