2023 Panini Select: Stroud's Tiered-Prizm Rookie

2023 Panini Select is one of the core rookie families in the C.J. Stroud conversation — the tiered cousin of Panini Prizm and Donruss Optic. Same chromium finish and rainbow of colored parallels, but Select layers its rookies across three levels, which gives collectors more ways to chase Stroud and a wider price ladder to climb.

Why this set matters for Stroud collectors

• It delivered a tiered chromium rookie during Stroud’s 2023 rookie season, with distinct Concourse, Premier Level and Club Level cards.
• Each tier carries its own Silver and colored parallel rainbow, so scarcity climbs sharply as you move up the levels.
• Club Level rookies are the shortest-printed and most premium, and high-grade copies (PSA 10 / BGS 9.5) command strong premiums given how tough the chromium finish is to keep flawless.
• Select also carries on-card rookie autographs, a natural pairing with the broader Stroud autographs list.

Find your card: the three tier numbers

Select prints Stroud’s rookie photography three times, once per tier, and each printing carries its own card number:

• Concourse — #41. The base tier and the most-listed of the three.
• Premier Level — #183. The mid tier, scarcer than Concourse.
• Club Level — #289. The shortest-printed tier and the true chase.

Match the number on the card back to the tier before you compare prices — a Concourse #41 and a Club Level #289 are visually similar chromium rookies but trade in different markets. (A fourth number, Select Draft Picks #2, shows Stroud in his Ohio State uniform and is a college/draft issue rather than an NFL rookie card — see the Ohio State & draft-pick guide.)

The tiers, briefly

• Concourse (#41) — the most common tier and the accessible entry point to a Select Stroud rookie.
• Premier Level (#183) — the mid tier; scarcer than Concourse with its own parallels.
• Club Level (#289) — the toughest and most premium tier; the color parallels here are the true chase.

Each tier carries its own named parallels, including Tri-Color, Zebra, and Disco finishes alongside the standard Silver and numbered colors — the full ladder is mapped set-by-set on the parallels guide. Where a raw card sits in the tier ladder drives most of its value, so read the tier name and number on the card before you compare comps.

Buying it safely

Stroud rookies are heavily counterfeited, and Select’s chromium look is a common target. For anything beyond a low-grade raw base copy, buy graded (PSA or SGC) so both authenticity and condition are guaranteed. When comparing prices, look at sold comps rather than asking prices — and match the exact tier and parallel, since Concourse and Club Level versions of the “same” card can trade orders of magnitude apart.
