Giannis Antetokounmpo Rookie Card Checklist — Every 2013-14 Brand & Card Number

A brand-by-brand checklist of Giannis Antetokounmpo's 2013-14 rookie cards, with the base card number for each Panini product and the parallels to know — plus live eBay listings for every one.

There is no single “Giannis Antetokounmpo rookie card.” When Giannis arrived as a raw 15th overall pick in 2013, Panini held the NBA license and put his rookie in nearly all of its 2013-14 products. The result is a whole class of rookie-year cards, each with its own card number, and each spawning its own parallels and inserts on top.

Source: Wikipedia’s Giannis Antetokounmpo entry — born in Athens, Greece; “selected 15th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks” in 2013; “won consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards in 2019 and 2020”; “he was named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2020”; and “In 2021, he led the Bucks to their first NBA championship since 1971”, after which he “was subsequently named NBA Finals MVP by a unanimous vote.”

Sourcing note: the 2013-14 card numbers on this page are not confirmed against a published checklist. checklistinsider.com, the checklist source we can reach, indexes NBA products from 2023-24 onward and has no page for any 2013-14 Panini basketball release; the other major checklist databases block automated access from our end. Treat every 2013-14 number here as listing-attested and read it off the card back before you buy. We have not removed the numbers — an unreachable source is not evidence a number is wrong — but we are not claiming we verified them either.

This page is the checklist that ties it together: the base rookie card number for every major 2013-14 brand, the parallels worth knowing, and a live eBay link for each so you can see the actual cards on the market instead of trusting one seller’s description.

The core 2013-14 rookie checklist

Every card below is a 2013-14 Giannis rookie. The number is the base card number in that set — the parallels within a set share that same number.

  • Panini Prizm — #290. The flagship, chrome-finish rookie and the card the hobby anchors on. Verified ladder: Prizms (Silver), Blue, Green, Red un-numbered; Light Blue Die-Cuts /199; Orange /60; Purple Die-Cuts /49; Gold /10; Black 1/1. Panini also signed him here — Prizm Autographs #33 (Blue /99, Red /49, Prizm /25, Gold /10, Black 1/1).
  • Panini (base) — #194. The mainstream, accessible rookie, sitting in the flagship set’s Rookies subset. Parallels are the Knights family: Red Knights and Gold Knights un-numbered, Black Knights 1/1. See the full 2013-14 Panini base set review.
  • NBA Hoops — #275. The other great entry-level rookie — widely available and inexpensive raw. Parallels: Red Backs, Blue, Gold and Red, plus Artist Proof and Artist Proof Black 1/1. See the full 2013-14 NBA Hoops set review.
  • Panini Select — #178 (Rookies subset). A premium chrome-style rookie: Rookies Prizms un-numbered, Purple /99, Blue /49, Gold /10, Green /5, Black 1/1. The signed Select rookie is a separate card number, Rookie Jerseys Autographs #1, not a parallel of #178. See the full 2013-14 Panini Select set review.
  • Panini Prestige — #175. A classic mid-tier rookie. Its parallel family is Bonus Shots: Blue, Red and Silver un-numbered, Gold /10, Green /5, Platinum 1/1. See the full 2013-14 Panini Prestige set review.
  • Panini Crusade — #122 (Rookies) and #61 (Crusade insert). Two different cards. #122 is the card the checklist flags RC (Silver /25, Gold /10, Black 1/1). #61 is the Crusade insert everyone pictures, with the deeper colour ladder — Blue un-numbered, Red /349, Teal /249, Orange Die Cut /99, Purple /49, Gold /10, Green /5, Black 1/1. Only the Orange parallel is a die-cut; the product also holds an autograph, Apprentice Signatures #24. See the full 2013-14 Panini Crusade set review.

Beyond these, the 2013-14 class runs deeper — Giannis also appears in other premium and mid-tier Panini brands of the year (Totally Certified, Innovation, Elite, Intrigue, Pinnacle, Gold Standard and more), several carrying autograph or memorabilia rookies. We list card numbers only where they’re well established; for the rest, the “All 2013-14 Rookies” eBay link surfaces the full spread so you’re always looking at what genuinely exists.

How to read a Giannis rookie listing

Two numbers do most of the work when you shop:

  1. The card number (like #290) tells you which set the card is from. It’s your first filter — a “2013-14 Prizm #290” is unambiguous.
  2. The parallel (Silver Prizm, a colored /number version, a die-cut) is the finish layered on top of that same number. Numbered parallels carry small print runs; unnumbered ones like Silver Prizm don’t.

If a listing’s set and number don’t line up — a “Prizm rookie” that isn’t #290, say — slow down and confirm before you buy.

Buying the checklist the smart way

  • Anchor on the number, then choose your finish. Decide the set you want first (Prizm #290 for the iconic card, base #194 or Hoops #275 for value), then decide base vs. parallel.
  • Buy graded above four figures. Giannis is among the most counterfeited modern players; a PSA, BGS, or SGC slab authenticates the card and its condition at once. The “Graded (PSA 10)” link opens slabbed copies.
  • Price against sold comps, not asking prices. The eBay buttons open live listings so you’re always seeing the current market.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Giannis Antetokounmpo's rookie card number?
It depends on the set — every product uses its own numbering. His flagship 2013-14 Panini Prizm rookie is card #290; the Panini base rookie is #194; NBA Hoops is #275; Panini Select is #178; Panini Prestige is #175; and in Panini Crusade the RC-flagged card is #122, with the better-known Crusade insert at #61. All of these are 2013-14 (his rookie season), so any card dated 2013-14 across the Panini lineup is a rookie-year card.
How many different Giannis rookie cards are there?
There is no single Giannis rookie — Panini included him in most of its 2013-14 products, so there's a whole class of rookie-year base cards, and each one adds parallels and inserts on top. That's why collectors talk about a Giannis rookie 'rainbow.' Use the card numbers here as anchors and the eBay links to see the actual base cards and parallels that are on the market right now.
Which Giannis rookie card is the best one to own?
For most collectors the 2013-14 Panini Prizm #290 — especially the Silver Prizm — is the iconic Giannis rookie and the one the hobby anchors on. But the base Panini #194, Hoops #275, and Prestige #175 are far more affordable rookie-year cards and are excellent entry points. Buy graded (PSA, BGS, or SGC) for anything with real value; Giannis is one of the most counterfeited modern players.
Are these card numbers the same for the parallels?
Yes — within a given set, the base card and its parallels share the same card number. A 2013-14 Prizm Silver Prizm Giannis is still #290; the colored parallels are still #290. The number identifies the card in the set; the parallel is the finish or color layered on top. Print runs on the numbered parallels vary and are best confirmed against live listings.
