While some collectors prefer the horizontal RPA design, the layout of this 2018-19 Panini Flawless Vertical Patch Autograph Ruby provides a beautiful canvas on which Luka Doncic can shine. The airborne imagery evokes Luka’s status in the NBA, with him soaring into the upper echelon of the game’s stars almost immediately upon entering the league. After winning Rookie of the Year, Doncic elevated himself to perennial MVP contender, racking up five straight All-NBA First-Team selections and taking the Mavs to the NBA Finals in 2023-24. His jaw-dropping move to the Los Angeles Lakers to link up with LeBron James only enhances Luka’s appeal, with the Slovenian superstar set to marvel on one of sports’ biggest stages for years to come.
Joining that in-air shot of Luka is a sharp three-color, game-worn swatch. This is important as the vast majority of Doncic's other rookie memorabilia cards don't come from actual games. Even National Treasures uses player-worn swatches. Doncic’s accompanying 10-grade blue signature combines beautifully with the rest of the Dallas Mavericks color scheme. This Green parallel is the bookend 5/5 copy.
Graded a NM-MT+ BGS 8.5, top subgrades include 9.5 for Surface and Centering.
