Three words…. The Greek Freak. If you desire the Giannis Antetokounmpo Prizm rookie card you can find it in the 2013 Panini Prizm Basketball set. Look for the 2013 Panini Prizm Orange Prizms Giannis Antetokounmpo RC for a huge payday.

Invest in Rookies: Rookie cards of players who have successful careers can be a great investment. Keep an eye on promising newcomers and consider adding their cards to your collection. Both Prizm cards and Parkside’s card of Crystal are instructive in terms of where the WNBA is as a league. If the Prizm collection shows how much the WNBA is growing, then Crystal’s Parkside card shows how intimate the league can still feel and how the league is at an inflection point.A lot of Panini’s National Treasures cards are some of their most expensive ever sold because a lot of them are one-of-a-kind, are autographed, and were sold to collectors who know how to take good care of a great rare card. Also worth noting—we are not talking about the mention of “PRIZM” at the very bottom of the card. Meaning, if you look at the bottom of Panini cards, you’ll see a mention of the set and set year. So, if you happen to be looking at the actual Prizm set (more on this below) there is going to be a mention of PRIZM (as in “2020 PANINI—PRIZM FOOTBALL”). Silvers can be found in Select, too

Due to the popularity of Doncic and National Treasures, when the two combine, you can be sure you are on to a winner. According to the information from Panini, all formats offer Silver Prizms as well as various exclusives (listed below). This card features James coming off the 2011-2012 season, which saw him win his first of 4 NBA championships. The veteran Miami Heat team comprised of the superstar trio of James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in 5 games. Three years later, Panini bought the exclusive rights to NBA trading cards. An Italian soccer-focused company taking over NBA trading cards caused some concern among collectors. But Panini found someone to mollify their fears: Kobe Bryant. Kobe grew up with Panini trading cards as a teen in Italy and the company made him a global brand ambassador right after they got the NBA rights.

2023-24 Panini Prizm Basketball Checklist

Could it be a printing error? I’m not sure, but I haven’t seen an example from either of these sets that didn’t have the PRIZM printed twice. The bottom “set” text is not the same It simply wouldn’t be a top sports card list without Lebron James, one of the best players of all time. The trading card market seems to be in the midst of a bubble. Many observers expect the market to crater and investors to lose their shirts. The conclusions may appear logical, after all the collectible market increased by 100% depending on how you define it. However, trading cards have been steadily increasing for years and card producers have committed to creating scarcity in the market, which could keep values high. Given his ability and his overall impact on the sport, it’s no real surprise that his rookie cards are especially popular with collectors. Giannis Antetokounmpo rookie cards have a ridiculous range of options to choose from, but why did his Prizm cards make the list at number five? The ‘Greek Freak’ has been an All-Star every season since 2017, and his meteoric rise culminated in an NBA Most Valuable Player award in 2019. He definitely has a claim at being recognized as the best basketball player in the world right now. “Antetokounmpo averaged 8.0 points and 7.6 rebounds at the FIBA U-20 European Championship in July 2013 in Estonia, helping Greece to go 8-2 and finish fifth in the 20-team tournament. “I had never played against the best guys in Europe before, to see what I’ve got,” he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.”

Prizm is Panini’s flagship chrome brand. So it makes sense that the same rules of Basketball apply to Football. That is, when you think of a sports card, you think of an athlete in their element—on the court, on the field, etc. But, Mosaic removes all of that and just features a player on top of a design. I don’t know, not a great reason, but the best reason I can come up with for now. This year contains the coveted Luka Doncic Prizm RC. The 2018 Luka Doncic Panini Prizm Signatures Gold RC will sell for more than 200k at a PSA 10. Due to Crown Royale’s distinct card design, the Luka Doncic is an excellent option for your collection. Collectors/investors will also be happy to learn this is one of the more affordable Doncic rookie cards. The 1st Off the Line (FOTL) boxes contain exclusive cards. These boxes are sold from Panini's store on February 25.Despite not being as popular as some other cards on this list, the 2018-19 Luka Doncic Absolute Memorabilia rookie card is a good option for collectors. If that doesn’t make it rare enough, it’s also autographed and it’s a rookie card plus it has the NBA logo. One important thing to note is that this “ PRIZM” will not always be found in this exact space on every card. It can sometimes be found at the very top right of the card, near the top and in the middle, on the bottom, etc. It all depends on the particular set and its design.
