PSA Graded Card - Certification #83009687 - Grade: MINT 9

This is a 2022 Donruss Optic 'Rated Rookie' card featuring Paolo Banchero of the Orlando Magic. The card showcases the special 'Photon' parallel, instantly recognizable by its red geometric patterned background with vibrant, holographic shine. The front design includes Banchero in his Orlando Magic uniform, dribbling a basketball, set against a dark and dynamic background. The 'Rated Rookie' shield appears in the lower right, and the player's name and team are in a blue box at the bottom. The PSA case and label indicate this card received a Mint 9 grading, with strong edges, sharp corners, and visually striking centering. No autograph is present. The Photon parallel is a highly sought-after short print variant within the Donruss Optic product and adds extra collectibility due to its limited availability. The card uses modern Optic printing technology, resulting in a bright, eye-catching finish—typical of Panini's Chromium-based Optic releases. Banchero is significant as a top NBA draft pick and potential franchise cornerstone, making his Rated Rookie cards especially valuable among collectors.
