A combination of 2 of the following:

Select Silver

Would only consider the alternative if it's a Courtside silver.

Don’t think a court side silver will be an option since they sell for more than the Prizm Silver

I’d take almost anything over those choices to be honest. Chromium cards are starting to really suck.

What do you mean by better?

Right now, the silver prizm sells better than the mosaic parallel (probably will always be that way but you never know what the future will bring).

There’s just way too damn much of it. Between Prizm and Select there’s probably 300 different parallels. I’d much rather have an Impeccable RPA than any of that stuff.

1) Best on-card Auto for $
2) Best #d Optic/ Select for $
3) Optic Holo & Select Silver

Yup.

Just checked Zion’s checklist:

2,298 total cards (parallels, autos, memorabilia, inserts, base) on Beckett. When I filter out products that are either all Chromium or have a chromium component (Paper Donruss you’re out because you have Optic) and the NCAA trash I’m left with ~300 cards. Yikes.

Always this. Ideally, you'd opt for a Signature first but serial # > anything. Proven scarcity (albeit manufactured) and fewer out there tend to be graded on top of that resulting in a higher demand market down the road.

Option 2 - Prizm silvers are pretty boring cards

If it's a veteran, Optic Holo and Hoops Silver... easy. Best looking vet cards for the $. Those Hoops Courtside cards are pretty damn nice... gotta get me one.
