2013 Select Giannis Antetokounmpo #111

The 2013 Select Giannis Antetokounmpo rookie card was released during Panini’s early years as the exclusive NBA card producer, following the end of the Topps era. In 2013, the basketball card market had not yet seen the explosion of print runs that would come later in the decade, resulting in lower overall supply for products like Select. The Select brand is known for its chromium finish, tiered base set, and a focus on parallels, making it a favorite among collectors looking for something a step above entry-level releases.

Among Giannis’s rookie cards, the 2013 Select stands out as his second most recognized base rookie after Prizm. Its combination of limited print run, strong design, and the timing of Panini’s transition make it a key card for those tracking the evolution of the modern basketball card market.
