Which Jalen Brunson card is the real rookie card

Panini held the exclusive NBA card license in his 2018-19 rookie season, so his licensed rookie cards are Panini products showing him with the Dallas Mavericks, not the Knicks. As a second-round pick he is missing from some rookie subsets: the 2018-19 Select checklist lists him only in the Concourse tier, and the Prizm checklist has no Rookie Signatures card for him. His Prizm base rookie is #250 and his Donruss and Donruss Optic Rated Rookies are #179.
