Graded PSA 10 Gem Mint Damian Lillard 2012-13 Panini Select #150 Rookie RC Basketball Card

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

🏀 'Dame Time' is not just a phrase — it is a declaration, a clock reading, a statement that the most important moments of any game Damian Lillard plays in belong to him. From the East Oakland gyms where his competitive drive was forged, to the Weber State campus where he went almost unnoticed by major recruiters, to eleven seasons anchoring the Portland Trail Blazers and now a new chapter with the Milwaukee Bucks, Lillard's impact on the competitive landscape of the NBA has been felt in the fourth quarter of nearly every important game he has 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. 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 draft stories of the 2012 class. Condition: NOS.

🏆 Weber State — The Big Sky to the Big Stage

Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, 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.

⭐ Eleven Seasons in Portland, and a New Chapter in Milwaukee

Damian Lillard's eleven seasons as a Portland Trail Blazer produced 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.' In September 2023, Lillard began a new chapter with the Milwaukee Bucks, and his nine career All-Star selections — seven with Portland and two more with Milwaukee — reflect a level of sustained excellence that has continued across both stops. His Select rookie card is the physical document of where it all began. Condition: NOS.
