Want to pick up an AD rookie auto, need opinions

[nman84]

Mostly collect vintage but was looking to pick up an Anthony Davis rookie auto. $200 is top end of my budget. It can be with or without Jersey. Not interested in inserts or variations, just the base. What are his most popular cards under this price point?

Contenders, prizm, select in that order?

I kind of like the gold standard, where does that stand in popularity?

Thanks for the input!

Don't sleep on the 2012-13 Absolute RC autos. On card with a full auto. It was before he started going with A. Davis.

Looks like now would be the time to buy an AD. I didnt realize prices had come down so much. Heres my ranking, just based on how I like them. I cant believe contenders sells better than Select, Gold Standard and Preferred.

1. Preferred Silhouette- On-card RPA
2. Select RPA- I know its sticker but i'd rather have the RPA than the base signature
3. Gold Standard RPA- On-card RPA
4. Contenders- Sticker
5. Prizm- Sticker

Thanks for the input guys. I completely overlooked the preferred, really like that it's on card as well.

Prizm seems to be one of the more popular brands year after year, will try to pick one of those up to start and move on to an on card auto as my second one.
