The Best Devin Booker Rookie Cards

Booker’s first NBA rookie cards were released in 2015-16 sets, after he was drafted in the first round with the 13th pick by the Suns. We’ve come up with a list containing three of the best Booker rookie cards below.

3. 2015-16 Panini Prizm Devin Booker RC #308 (eBay)

2015-16 Panini Prizm is where we begin, with the flagship set packed full of parallels featuring Booker in a simple action shot. It has a traditional Prizm design, with a flakey chrome background which is easily damaged.

There’s a small nameplate at the base, while the reverse lists his collegiate totals. The orange RC logo found in the top left corner stays the same no matter the border colour, while the Silver Prizm parallel is always popular with collectors.
