Collection of 2024-25 Panini Select Basketball Cards

This is a collection of 16 basketball trading cards from the 2024-25 Panini Select NBA set. The group features a mix of veteran stars and rookie prospects. Notable veterans include Klay Thompson in his Mavericks uniform, Russell Westbrook on the Nuggets, Jaylen Brown, Chet Holmgren, and Brandon Miller. The collection is heavy on 'Rookie Cards' (marked with the RC shield), featuring top 2024 NBA Draft picks like Zaccharie Risacher (No. 1 overall), Reed Sheppard (No. 3), and Bub Carrington. The cards showcase various parallel designs including standard Blue base cards, a Red 'Revolution' insert for Bub Carrington, an Orange Flash Prizm for Ryan Dunn, and a Silver Prizm for Jaylen Brown. The cards are manufactured using Panini's signature opti-chrome technology, giving them a high-gloss, metallic finish. Construction involves layered cardstock with embossed elements and die-cut styles (visible in the 'Select' shield shape). Each card measures the standard 2.5 by 3.5 inches. The condition appears to be 'near mint' to 'mint' based on the sharp corners and clean edges visible in the layout, though they aren't currently stored in protective sleeves. The photography features action shots with tiered border levels, a hallmark of the Select brand which typically includes Concourse, Premier Level, and Courtside variations.
