Panini 2025 National Convention Case Breaker Paige Bueckers #PB RC
The most compelling Paige Bueckers rookie card at the entire 2025 National Sports Collectors Convention wears card number #PB RC1 — and it's the only one in the entire Case Breaker set serial-numbered to just /10. In a 50-card set where every other WNBA and NBA rookie runs to /25 or more, Bueckers stands alone as the scarcest base rookie in the product.
2025 Panini National Convention Case Breaker is an NSCC-exclusive multi-sport release distributed only to collectors who broke cases of qualifying Panini products at the 45th National in Rosemont, Illinois. The base set spans 50 cards, all serial-numbered to /199, covering WNBA, NBA, NFL, and MLB rookies alongside established stars like Patrick Mahomes, Luka Doncic, Lionel Messi, and Caitlin Clark. Two insert families — the Case Breaker Insert and Marketing Insert — are each numbered to /25, with Silver /10 and Gold 1/1 parallels. The broader parallel rainbow on the RC short-prints includes Diamond Plate, Orange /199, Red /99, Blue /50, Lightning Spokes /25, Purple /15, Gold /10, Green /5, and Black 1/1. Numbered autographs for many players in the set are capped at /99 or lower, with the Bueckers auto also appearing in the signed checklist at /99.
What you're hunting:
- Paige Bueckers RC1 Base /199 — sole WNBA headliner of the Case Breaker set, Dallas Wings
- RC1 Short-Print /10 — the rarest numbered Bueckers base rookie in the entire product, tighter than any other RC in the set
- PB Auto /99 — signed Bueckers in the Case Breaker auto checklist
- Case Breaker Insert & Marketing Insert /25, Silver /10, Gold 1/1 parallels
- Full parallel rainbow: Orange /199 → Red /99 → Blue /50 → Lightning Spokes /25 → Purple /15 → Gold /10 → Green /5 → Black 1/1
- Supporting rookies: Travis Hunter, Ashton Jeanty, Shedeur Sanders, Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Milroe /10, Dylan Crews /15
Bueckers went #1 overall to the Dallas Wings and immediately became the centerpiece of every 2025 Panini WNBA release. As her only NSCC-exclusive Case Breaker rookie card — produced strictly for case openers at the National and never available at retail — the supply ceiling is baked in from day one. Collectors targeting the Bueckers rookie rainbow have to come here first.
