2018-19 Panini Select: Brunson's Tiered Chrome Rookie

2018-19 Panini Select gave Jalen Brunson a chrome rookie built on Select's three-tier structure — Concourse, Premier Level and Courtside — plus its Silver parallel chase. Here's why the set matters and how to buy it safely.

If Prizm is the Brunson rookie chrome most collectors start with, 2018-19 Panini Select is the one that rewards collectors who like to chase within a set. Select gave Brunson a rookie built on its signature three-tier structure — and a Silver parallel chase that mirrors what makes Prizm so collectible.

Why this set matters for Brunson collectors

  • It delivered a genuine chrome rookie from Brunson’s 2018-19 rookie season, sitting in the same core tier as his Prizm and Optic rookies.
  • Select’s Concourse → Premier Level → Courtside ladder means the same rookie exists at escalating scarcity — a higher-tier Brunson rookie is a distinct, harder chase than the base.
  • The Silver parallel is the set’s signature refractor-style chase, with colored and die-cut parallels layering a full rainbow on top.

Buying it safely

As with every core Brunson rookie chrome, rising prices brought reprints and altered cards, so know what you’re buying. Because Select’s value climbs steeply from Concourse to Courtside, be sure a listing is actually the tier it claims — the tier is part of the card’s identity and its price. For anything beyond a low-grade raw copy, buy graded (PSA or SGC) so both authenticity and condition are guaranteed, and always compare sold comps rather than asking prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2018-19 Panini Select Brunson a true rookie card?
Yes. 2018-19 was Brunson's rookie season, so his Panini Select card from that set is a rookie-year card. Its chrome finish and tiered structure make it one of the core Brunson rookie chromes alongside Prizm and Optic.
What are Concourse, Premier Level and Courtside?
Select is built in three tiers within the same set. Concourse is the accessible base tier, Premier Level sits in the middle, and Courtside is the scarcest, most premium tier. A Brunson rookie from a higher tier is harder to find and typically trades for more — check live eBay comps to see how each tier is pricing right now.
Should I buy the base or the Silver parallel?
The base Concourse rookie is the more accessible buy; the Silver parallel is scarcer and commands a premium, and colored parallels add the full rainbow chase. For anything above a low-grade raw copy, buy graded, and compare sold comps rather than asking prices.
