🏀 Damian Lillard 2012-13 Panini Select #150 Rookie RC Basketball Card — Graded PSA 10 Gem Mint — Oakland, California — Weber State University — Portland Trail Blazers — 2013 NBA Rookie of the Year — 'Dame Time' — Seven-Time All-Star — The Most Clutch Shooter of His Era — PSA 10 Perfect Rookie

🏀 'Dame Time' is not just a phrase in Portland — it is a declaration, a clock reading, a statement that the most important moments of any Trail Blazers game were the moments that belonged to Damian Lillard. From the Moda Center faithful who knew that every critical possession in a close game would ultimately flow through the player from East Oakland who had come to define the franchise for over a decade, to the opposing coaches who designed their entire closing strategies around eliminating his shot creation opportunities, Lillard's impact on the competitive landscape of the Western Conference was felt in every fourth quarter of every important game he played. This 2012-13 Panini Select #150 Rookie RC, graded PSA 10 Gem Mint, is the document from before all of those moments — the first official Select rookie card of one of the most decorated closers in NBA history. Condition: NOS.

🌟 Oakland, California — East Oakland's Most Decorated Baller

Damian Lillard was born on July 15, 1990, in Oakland, California — the East Bay city whose basketball culture has produced NBA talent across multiple generations, and whose Brookfield neighborhood shaped in Lillard the competitive drive, the work ethic, and the under-the-radar mentality that defined his rise. Overlooked in high school recruiting, Lillard went to Weber State University in the Big Sky Conference — not the typical path to NBA stardom — and proceeded to transform that relative obscurity into one of the most compelling drafts stories of the 2012 class. Condition: NOS.

🏆 Weber State — The Big Sky to the Big Stage

Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, is one of the most successful mid-major basketball programs in the Mountain West region — and for Damian Lillard, it was the place that developed the scoring instincts, the ball-handling refinement, and the competitive confidence that Portland identified when they selected him 6th overall in 2012. His four college seasons at Weber State produced back-to-back Big Sky Player of the Year awards and a statistical dominance that translated immediately to the NBA level. Condition: NOS.

⭐ Portland Trail Blazers — Eleven Seasons of Dame Time

Damian Lillard's eleven seasons as a Portland Trail Blazer produced seven All-Star selections, a Rookie of the Year Award in 2013, and some of the most memorable clutch shots in modern NBA history — including the 2019 playoff series-ending deep three over Paul George that has become the canonical definition of 'Dame Time.' His run in Portland represents one of the sport's great player-city relationships, and his Select rookie card is the physical document of where that relationship began. Condition: NOS.
