Which Paolo Banchero card is the real rookie card

Banchero's 2022-23 rookie year came while Panini held the NBA card license, so his RCs are Panini: Donruss Rated Rookie #201, Prizm #249, Optic #221 and Select #72. He signs in Panini rookie products, including Prizm Rookie Signatures, Optic and Donruss Rated Rookie Signatures and a National Treasures Rookie Patch Autograph. College cards from Duke, if any, are not RCs; none were checked.

How to identify your Paolo Banchero card and check what it sold for

  1. Find the year and maker on the back of your Paolo Banchero card, and the card number, usually top or bottom on the back.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Note any grade on the slab label (PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC). A raw card and a graded one are different listings.
  5. 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 Paolo Banchero rookie cards in eBay's sold listings or eBay's price guide for that exact card.
