The Rated Rookie designation is one of the hobby's most storied certifications, and this is Maye's official Panini Optic RC: the card collectors anchor a player's entire paper trail to.
The base version delivers Panini's signature chrome-like Optic finish on 20pt card stock, with the Holo parallel bringing a full prismatic refractor treatment — recent sold comps show the raw Holo trading actively around $50 while the base raw moves in the $6–$10 range, making both tiers accessible. Step up to the serial-numbered parallels and the market rewards you: the Orange /249 recently crossed $242 raw, and the Pink Velocity /80 last sold at $515.
