2015 Clear Vision Orange. I was able to confirm via ticket to Panini's customer service back then that they were not serial numbered but the print run was /10. Got a Matt Jones... gonna break out any day now.

I like the genesis and white sparkle but there a bunch of those I have never seen in person. Just based on the images on eBay I think the cosmic would be really cool. There is also the color last/night moves that I think look really sweet.

Upper Deck has some fantastic Unnumbered SP parallels.
Two of my favorite College PC Cards...
The 2014 SP Authentic Photo variation High-Numbered Autographs are extremely difficult pulls, rumored to only have 10 or less copies (depending on the player). I have only seen another one of these (someone else on the boards has one), so I am guessing less than 5 exist based on Upper Deck's Tier Schedule.
...
And I confirmed a few years ago that there are only 2 copies of this Steve Young card. Apparently, these were inserted into 2014 Exquisite as an Update buy-back or something-or-other, it's complicated.

But a modern submission...
2014 Prizm BCA Pink Prizm are underrated.
I feel like the teal velocity is one of the most under valued parallels. There’s only around 20/25 made yet prices are pretty low compared the white sparkle which has a similar print run.

I agree. The tough part about SP retail parallels is explaining the value to those not really in the know.

I informed so many sellers about those orange being ssp when the set came out. I don't think one user changed their price.

The latter two are inserts more than parallels. Very cool though!

These are nice. Probably my favourite.
White Sparkles are tough to beat because they go so well with any team. My favourite is the Mosaic version.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it but I really like the Zebra pattern due cuts from 2020 Select.

Prizm red and blue from 2016-2018ish were great but after 2019 it seems like they really ramped up production.
22 Burrows graded, 9 10s
42 Herbs graded, 8 10s
Print ratio to overall Prizm production I'm sure is similar but for 10s alone I think 2016 total print was that number tops.

A lot of those are light blues mislabeled as blue.

Teal Velocity and all from Select are my favorites. The cosmic are really cool looking in hand.

Unparalleled base galactics. Only 2 years worth. 2018 and 2019. 2019 design with the galactic effect is one of the best looking cards panini has done imo.

2019 Brady:

(Some of these might be mislabeled with "galactic" being error printed on some base)

Did they move teal velocity to Retail recently? When I pulled them they were out of hobby.

There's a 2018 Adam Theilen on eBay that's like this. The SSPs have the U logo a blueish color instead of silver like the base do. Not sure if the same applies to 2019 though.

Yeah, the errors don't have the galactic foil pattern and they have bronze font/text as opposed to the true galactic blue/refractor text/font. A couple different ways to tell the error from the true galactic.

I think they were supposed to be a gravity feed exclusive in 2019 per the product guide. They were in 2020 too.
