Which Amen Thompson card is the real rookie card
Thompson's 2023-24 rookie year came while Panini held the NBA card license, so his logo-bearing RCs are Panini: Donruss Rated Rookie #206, Prizm #150, Optic #229 and Select #96. He signs in Panini rookie products, including Prizm Rookie Signatures, Optic and Donruss Rated Rookie Signatures and a National Treasures Rookie Patch Autograph /99. He does not appear in the fetched 2023-24 Topps Chrome checklists (a players-association-only set without team logos). Name note: his twin brother Ausar Thompson was drafted the same year, so match the first name.

A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) or BGS 9.5 is the top grade most collectors look for; it means sharp corners, clean edges, centered printing and an unmarked surface. A graded card and a raw one are different cards to look up.

PSA
- Top grades:
- Gem Mint 10, then Mint 9 and NM-MT 8.

- Half grades:
- Yes, from Fair 1.5 up to Mint+ 9.5.
Authentic (AU) for a genuine card that cannot take a number; Authentic Altered (AA) for one that was altered.

How to identify your Amen Thompson card and check what it sold for
- Find the year and maker on the back of your Amen Thompson card, and the card number, usually top or bottom on the back.
- Check the front and back for a serial number (for example 23/99) and for a colored or patterned finish: those mark a parallel, which is a different card from the base version.
- Look for the RC logo or the word Rookie. A card from before the first pro season, such as a Bowman 1st or a college card, is a prospect card, not a rookie card.
- Note any grade on the slab label (PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC). A raw card and a graded one are different listings.
- Search sold listings for that exact year, set, number, parallel and grade. What a card sold for is a better guide than any asking price.
Check Amen Thompson rookie cards in eBay's sold listings or eBay's price guide for that exact card.
