Default Best 2012-13 Rookie Autographs?? What Brand??

Obviously NT (if and when it is released) will be the best...

But if you were looking for the 2nd best 2012-13 Rookie Auto what would you go after?

I'm talking base RC Autos only - not parallels.

Prizm? Select? Silhoutte RPA's?

Anything else coming out?

Just looking for opinions as I'm not familiar with all the current brands.

Right now I would say the Preferred RPA and Select Gold on card autos. I would take the Base Gold Prizm /10 from Prizm before any other auto besides those two

Prizm, Select, Preferred. THE BEST.
THERE would be the Awesome Marquee.
5 rookie sets.
PANINI Automatic.

I'd go Select.... Nice On card, low-numbered Auto's, and paralells. Gold Standard should make a run for it too.

For base Rookies, i'd go Prizm.

I heard NT might be numbered to 199 instead of 99 this year- is that true? And if so, doesn't that bring NT down a notch?

if that is true either

a) the RCs will already be less valuable, but that SHOULD eliminate all f-list scrubs form the checklist

b) this stuff will drop in price like a rock because there will be 50 million cases if they include all rookies at /199

with NT football at /99, id be shocked if basketball didnt stay there as well, though.

From my sources NT is /199. That has stopped me from ordering cases and stick to finding Preferred Prime Silo's. I'll just be buying Lillard NT cards...hoping he will have a Logoman...but I doubt it.

too many autos have been on stickers this year.

limited acetates are underrated and preferred is all on card autos.

By far, the best ones this year, although not true rookies, were the Select Gold autos /10. Besides NT, I see them being the cards to have.

can't beat on card auto and jumbo patch from preferred. Even the jumbo jersey auto are nice. And this is the first year that there's rc in preferred so should hold value well.

If your source knows this is true, this is very disappointing news and will destroy this product! Small Patch windows for the RPA's and now they are #/199? Yuck! I will buy 2 Logoman RPA's, from NT this year and thats it for me.
The Preferred Silho RPA's will jump, b/c they are 8 times rarer, with Jumbo Patches too! Glad that I own 18 prime RPA's now!! Now LF: Anthony Davis and Enes Kanter primes. Thanks for the news!!
