2022-23 Panini Select: Banchero's Three-Tier Rookie & Silver Prizms
2022-23 Panini Select gave Paolo Banchero a rookie across three design tiers — Concourse, Premier, and Courtside — plus the chrome Silver prizm chase. Here's what makes the set matter and how to buy the rookie safely.
2022-23 Panini Select is one of the core chrome sets in the Banchero rookie conversation, and it stands apart from Panini Prizm in one important way: its three-tier design. Rather than a single base card, Select splits the rookie across Concourse, Premier Level, and Courtside — three different looks at the same rookie season, each with its own scarcity and its own colored-prizm rainbow.
Why this set matters for Banchero collectors
- It delivered a chrome Select rookie during the 2022-23 rookie season, on the premium finish collectors associate with the flagship prizm family.
- The Silver prizm parallel is the key un-numbered chase, mirroring the role the Silver Prizm plays in Prizm.
- The Courtside tier sits at the top of the base structure — the scarcest of the three rookies and the one that carries the biggest premium.
- Colored prizms (Tri-Color, and the numbered refractor parallels) build a rainbow across all three tiers.

The three tiers, quickly
- Concourse — the entry-level base rookie; the accessible way into a Select Banchero.
- Premier Level — the mid tier, a step up in scarcity and look.
- Courtside — the top tier and the toughest pull, so it commands the strongest base-rookie premium.
Because each tier has its own Silver and colored prizms, a full Select “rainbow” of Banchero is a deeper build than a single-base set — part of what makes the product a favorite for player collectors.
Select vs. the other chrome rookies
Select, Prizm, Optic, and Mosaic are the four 2022-23 chrome rookies, and Select’s edge is structural: it’s the only one of the four that splits the base rookie across three tiers instead of a single design, so a Select “master set” of Banchero means chasing three separate rookies — each with its own Silver and colored-prizm rainbow — rather than one. Prizm remains the name-recognition leader and the Silver Prizm the single most-chased card in the class; Optic is the only chrome rookie carrying the classic Donruss “Rated Rookie” banner; Mosaic swaps the refractor look for its own prismatic pattern. For collectors who want tiered scarcity built into the product itself, Select is the only set that delivers it.
Buying it safely
For anything beyond a low-grade raw copy, buy graded so both authenticity and condition are guaranteed — chrome cards live and die by centering and edge chipping. Run a scan through the card centering tool before you buy raw, and if you’re deciding whether to send a raw copy in for grading, check the math first on the grading ROI calculator — Courtside and Silver-prizm copies routinely justify the fee, but always confirm against current PSA 10 comps before you ship a card in. When comparing prices, look at sold comps rather than asking prices, and confirm which tier a listing actually is (Concourse vs. Courtside changes the value substantially).
