Default Select Courtside rankings??

Wondering if some knowledgeable hobby guys could break down the value of Select Courtside. Where does a Courtside silver rank compared to tye dye or Zebra? Tye dye bigger then Zebra?...how does the new purple pulsar to 5 rank amongst the OG select cards etc:

I think it is

Tye dye
Orange pulsar FOTL
Courtside Silver
Purple Pulsar /5
Emerald /5
Zebra
Gold /10
Snake skin 1/1
Black 1/1

Is that about right...I'm asking cuz I'm looking to purchase some of this year's rookie class and it's not as easy as lowest number is the best...thank you!

Id go silver, tye dye, orange pulsar and put the zebra before the /5’s

For me the select courtside black checkerboard/x-fractor 1/1 is the holy grail for refractor cards.. just that I’m not feelin this year design.. felt the same last year, but now I see em as one of the best designs last year.. so maybe in future my mind will change, but I must say the black snake skin pulsar on courtside look fresh as a mf

I’ve watched the relative prices on the Luka 2018 tie dye and zebra courtside parallels over the past year or so and I think the the dyes seem to be more expensive than the zebras. Not sure if this holds for all players, but definitely for the Luka rookies. I also think the tie dyes look a lot nicer. They’re both definitely more expensive than the silvers.

This is what i would want. I think Gold is wanted by everyone collector, investor and noobs. Orange Pulsar FOTL is rare, but not truly rare. I believe there are 3 different versions #/13 (Concourse, Premier and Courtside).

Yeah for this I'm only talking about Courtside versions. I actually this select courtside is the nicest set panini makes. I kinda hold it separate from the rest of select

Yea the pulsar effect goes perfect with the snake skin.. it’s weird I don’t really like the design, but with the pulsar snake skin effect it looks mad cool regardless... I don’t get why they went the regular refractor route with mosaic snake skin last year when it’s clearly obvious using pulsar greatly enhance the look

What is the generally consensus in value between emerald /5 and gold /10? Since both are relatively rare Im having trouble comp'ing them.

I can’t speak about Courtsides specifically, but in a lot of cases the Gold will outsell the Emerald simply due to demand. Unless the /5 pairs well color wise with the team jersey, it doesn’t do it for a lot of people.

Wow thats a beauty especially with the jersey collar match.

@ballhawkdawk - I prefer Gold too but Im finding there is a fairly large price difference between the too.
