You can pick one of these 4 to own, which are you going with? Lets assume all are PSA 10. Let's also take current market price out of the equation, so youre just picking one to own and not one to buy (if that makes sense).

1. Select Courtside RC
2. Silver Prizm RC
3. Optic Holo RC
4. 2016 UD Rainbow Foil

Go....

Not even close for me. Optic holo. I’d even through the select concourse silver in there too. I’d take that over the prizm if cost isn’t a factor.

Good point about Select Silver. Probably shouldve thrown that in there as well.

Thanks for the reply. For disclosure, Im just very interested in these answers simply as anecdotal info about others' perceptions. Personally I find the routes other collectors chose to follow to be very interesting. I could see an intelligent case being made for each option I gave, so just thought it would be a fun exercise.

Donruss Optic Holo. Easy choice.

[Jhedges]

Optic holo. Currently there is ~200 PSA 10’s. I don’t think it ever gets more than 300 total, and optic was the best set of 2018.

[The_Reverend]

Donruss optic Holo for population reasons.

Select courtside. Rarest? (I don't know about the UD rainbow) and the courtside design has been straight fire the last couple years in my opinion. Best picture too

I've never seen a courtside silver nor have I seen a Luka base courtside, but I pulled Troy Brown and Mikal Bridges base courtsides for 2018-19 and I thought they were kinda boring cards. I prefer the look of base Optic and Prizm over base Courtside but silvers might be another story.

Am I the only one that thinks Luka making the First Team All-NBA is a really big deal at his age.

It takes world altering events to slow Luka down.

It’s a huge deal. But one that was already baked in. That’s how good he was this year. And if it wasn’t for the December ankle sprain, he would have been in the MVP conversation all year long.

Usually for a 2nd year I'd think they're over priced but Luka really seems like the next big star.

Just wondering if the market is overreacting right now.

Yeah I'm trying to decide what 2nd year Lukas to send in for grading right now. I'm thinking the SSP is probably worth it - not sure about anything else though.

The pullback is happening hard I guess! Luka Prizm Silver PSA 10 ended last night at $5,400!

Looking like we may get a couple months of buying opportunities once basketball is off everyones mind! Start saving up the funds boys! Haha.

There were some questionable sales that ended at 9K at its peak but during the clippers series it seemed to have settled in right around 8K - 8.3K

Select Courtside by far. Optic picture is so blah. Not only that there are 228 Optic holo PSA 10s while there are only 132 Select Courside PSA 10s.

1. Better photography
2. Part of a base set
3. Less population

What else can you ask for?

Bingo. Don’t overthink shiny.

[armyml]

Can anyone tell me the hierarchy for Threads Dazzle? I have one of these, the Icon Jersey, and they seem to go for more then the #181 Statement Jersey even though it says the #181 is SP. I love these cards and think there is room to grow. Is it just the blue jersey on the #141 card that nets the premium?

Funny, PSA 9s dropped to $1,700 about 10 days ago but are now back up to $2,100. Let's go PSA 9s!

Fine 9’s have some real value in the more sought after Luka stuff.

I think all the threads dazzle are underrated (good action pictures, shiny, tough grades for gem mints) granted I own three in gem mints now so a bit biased. I don't track pricing super close because they are pc cards for me but I think part of the wild fluctuation and value differences between cards is just lack of sales as not many come up and at different times combined with wild fluctuations in Luka prices in general from bubble->Clippers bump->offseason drop over the last 2 months.
