Panini Select: Tom Brady's Tiered Modern Prizm Chase

Panini Select is the modern hobby’s “stadium seating” brand — a tiered, chromium football product built so that the same player shows up again and again, each time a little rarer. Where Brady’s 2000 rookies are the historic cornerstone and National Treasures is the premium auto/patch end, Select is the tiered Prizm chase: the set where one Tom Brady turns into a whole ladder of cards across levels and colors.

Why this brand matters for Brady collectors

• It’s a tiered set, not a flat one. Select’s signature is that the checklist is divided into levels — Concourse (base, most common), then Premier, Club, Suite, and Field Level (the scarcest, most desirable tier). Each level is seeded rarer than the one below it, so collecting Brady in Select means choosing how deep into the tiers you want to go.
• Brady appears as a veteran star, not a rookie. Modern Select football relaunched in 2017, long after his 2000 rookie year, so there is no Select Brady rookie card — his Select cards are veteran base, parallels, inserts, and autographs. That makes Select a distinct modern lane, separate from the 2000 rookie chase.
• It’s a Prizm-technology product. Every tier carries its own color Prizm parallel rainbow — a Silver base parallel, then numbered colors climbing to a Gold /10 and a Black 1/1 — so a single Brady card exists in dozens of scarcer versions. If you like chasing the Prizm color rainbow, Select is the tiered cousin of that hunt.

The set logistics

An important quirk of Select: the tiers occupy separate card-number ranges, and Field Level cards are entirely different cards, not just rarer parallels of the Concourse base. A “base” Brady, a color parallel of that base, and a Field Level Brady are three different cards to chase.

Brady’s Select autographs are real: Select Signatures #SI-TBR in 2020 Panini Select, issued across a numbered Prizm ladder (Prizm /10, Gold /5, Green /3, Black 1/1). His 2020 and 2021 Select Concourse base card is #1, with a second 2021 card at #101.

Sourcing note on those numbers: the free published Select Football checklists we can reach start at the 2023 edition — Brady retired after the 2022 season and is not on it, nor on 2024 or 2025. The 2020/2021 numbers above are therefore listing-attested, not checklist-verified: read the card number and the serial off the card itself before paying an SI-TBR price. What those reachable checklists do confirm is the tier structure this page describes — 2023 Select runs Concourse, Premier Level, Club Level, Field Level and Suite Level as separate numbered ranges, exactly as set out above.

Select is an annual brand, and the exact tier card numbers, parallel print runs, and insert names shift year to year. We don’t publish fixed prices here — the live eBay rails above surface the actual Concourse, color-parallel, Field Level, and autograph cards on the market right now, with their real tiers and serial numbers.

Buying it safely

• Read the tier, then the color. A listing’s value hinges on which level it is and which parallel — a Concourse Silver is an everyday card, while a low-numbered color or a Field Level card is a genuine chase piece. Confirm both in the title and photo before you bid.
• Buy graded for anything premium, and read the serial number on numbered parallels — the gap between a Silver and a Gold /10 is enormous.
• For autographs, confirm the card carries Panini authentication and, if in doubt, check our guide to spotting fake Brady autographs before buying.
• Compare sold eBay comps, not asking prices — tiered parallels trade in a wide range depending on the exact level, color, and grade.

Use the live eBay rails above for Concourse base, color Prizm parallels, Field Level cards, autographs, and graded copies. Select is the tiered modern cousin of the Prizm parallels guide; for the premium auto/patch end see the National Treasures review and the Tom Brady autographs & top cards list, and for where his value concentrates overall read what a Tom Brady card is worth. His historic rookies are covered in the 2000 Playoff Contenders, Bowman Chrome, and SP Authentic reviews and mapped in the rookie card checklist.
