Devin Booker Rookie Card demand has been strong since the guard broke into the league in 2015-16. This comes despite the fact that he’s been a part of an abysmal Phoenix franchise that hasn’t had a winning record in a decade. And it’s not like the Suns are one of the top markets in the league, either. That’s a testament to Booker’s skill. On the hobby side, there’s probably a lot of hope as well that either Phoenix will put their string of lottery picks together and become a contender or Booker will find himself on the move out of the Arizona desert.
There are plenty of heavy hitters when it comes to Devin Booker Rookie Cards. They appear in more than 20 different sets and come in a variety of styles and rarities. Five come with autographs and memorabilia. One has a diamond. And Booker’s Gala RC has a minuscule print run of just eight copies. Panini Prizm was starting to come into its own. And while there’s more than a binder page’s worth of parallels, it’s not nearly at the same level as they are now.
With the modern basketball card market exploding, particularly for any Rookies of top players, even the most basic Devin Booker Rookie Cards have seen price jumps. The days of finding some of the more affordable RCs in dollar boxes appear to be over.
Here’s a countdown of all of his Rookie Cards based on to their value.

5. 2015-16 Select Devin Booker Rookie Card #203
2015-16 Select Basketball has the tiered base set that has become synonymous with the brand. In most years, rookies have multiple cards with the most common getting the RC tag. Booker’s only card in the 2015-16 Select is in the Courtside level, the rarest in the set. It’s not numbered, but make no mistake, finding a base version is no easy task. Hobby boxes have just two Courtside cards from a checklist of 100 cards. That works out to approximately 1:50 boxes to get one.
Parallels: Prizms Silver, Prizms Copper (/49), Prizms Tie Dye (/25), Prizms Gold (/10), Prizms Green (/5), Prizms Black (1/1)
Buy on:
4. 2015-16 Panini Flawless Devin Booker Rookie Card #141 /20
With just 20 copies, simply finding Booker’s Flawless RC is going to be tough. More than that, there’s a decadence to the card despite no autograph or memorabilia. However, there is a diamond sitting in the middle.
Parallels: Ruby (/15), Sapphire (/10), Emerald (/5), Platinum (1/1)
Buy on:
3. 2015-16 Panini Gala Devin Booker Rookie Card #123 /8
Gala’s trademark is its Rookie Cards. More specifically, it’s the extremely rarity of its Rookie Cards. This Devin Booker Rookie Card has just eight copies. And it’s not like there is a long list of parallels to go with it. In fact there are none.
Buy on:
2. 2015-16 Immaculate Collection Devin Booker RC Auto Patch #121 /99
The 2015-16 Immaculate Devin Booker Rookie Card has a lot of the premium elements as his top card. There’s a hard signature and modest production numbers. The memorabilia piece is smaller than the one on National Treasures and the Immaculate brand doesn’t have the same history, either. Since its start it has always been a sort of National Treasures alternative. But that’s not a bad thing, just slightly more affordable.
Parallels: Red (/25), Jersey Number (1/1)

1. 2015-16 Panini National Treasures Devin Booker RC Auto Patch #113 /99
There’s a reason that National Treasures is the most iconic Devin Booker Rookie Card. Actually, there are a handful of reasons that come together in one powerful package. First, it has an on-card signature. Only a handful of Booker’s base RCs can claim this. The swatch is a big one done with a premium part of his uniform. The print run? Just 99 copies. Even with the parallels, there are less than 150 total. Of course, just the name National Treasures brings a lot. It’s widely seen as the top line from Panini’s run with the NBA exclusive.
Parallels: Silver (/25), Gold (/10), Emerald (/5), Platinum (1/1)

It’s too bad Upper Deck doesnt make Basketball anymore these cards leave a lot to be desired. I didnt see one card/design that I really loved. Exquisite, Ultimate collection, SP Authentic, SP Signature those were nice looking sets. Even the Topps Chrome and Bowman chrome are nicer then these
