2023-24 Panini Phoenix Basketball Brandon Miller 'Instant Phenom' Purple Parallel Rookie Card

This is a 2023-24 Panini Phoenix basketball trading card featuring Brandon Miller of the Charlotte Hornets. The card is part of the 'Instant Phenom' insert set and features a distinct purple parallel finish with a chromium-style holographic surface. The design incorporates sharp, geometric shard patterns and a deep blue-to-purple color gradient. Miller is depicted in action wearing his teal Hornets jersey (number 24) and white shorts. A prominent 'RC' (Rookie Card) shield emblem is visible in the lower-left corner, and the Charlotte Hornets team logo is placed in the upper-left. The vertical text 'INSTANT PHENOM' runs down the right side. The card appears to be standard size (2.5 by 3.5 inches) and is constructed of thick premium cardstock with a glossy, reflective coating characteristic of the Panini Phoenix brand. This card represents a modern 'chase' insert for a high-profile rookie. Regarding condition, the card is observed outside of a protective sleeve, stacked on others. There are visible signs of minor edge wear and potential surface scratches; specifically, the top and bottom edges show slight whitening/chipping. Centering appears slightly shifted towards the right side. No major creases or corner dings are immediately obvious from the photo, but the lack of protective housing increases the risk of surface micro-abrasions.
