Which DaRon Holmes II card is the real rookie card
His 2024-25 rookie cards come from Panini in its last season as the NBA card licensee (Checklist Insider says Topps reacquired the license, officially replacing Panini on October 1, 2025). His RCs include Donruss Rated Rookie #213, Donruss Optic #262, Prizm #235 and Select #173 (Premier Level), with Panini autographs including Prizm Rookie Signatures, Optic and Donruss Rated Rookie Signatures and a National Treasures Rookie Patch Autograph /99. A torn Achilles in his first 2024 Summer League game delayed his NBA debut to October 2025, so 2025-26 Topps Chrome Update includes a 1/1 NBA Debut Patch Autograph for him; it is a later card, not an RC.

How to identify your DaRon Holmes II card and check what it sold for
- Find the year and maker on the back of your DaRon Holmes II 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 DaRon Holmes II rookie cards in eBay's sold listings or eBay's price guide for that exact card.
