The plain-English answer

Caleb Williams' main 2024 rookie-card families include Donruss #327, Optic #201, and Prizm #301. Downtown #21 is a separate insert, not the same card as the Donruss Rated Rookie. National Treasures #18 is a serial-numbered base card limited to 99 copies, not a rookie patch autograph.

Identify first. Compare condition and sales second.

Short-print insert family

Confirm the illustrated Downtown design and keep the insert identity separate from the standard Rated Rookie card.

Panini National Treasures Football

#18

Serial-numbered high-end base card

Front check
Confirm National Treasures branding and do not assume that every thick or premium-looking card contains memorabilia or an autograph.
Back check
Confirm card number 18 and the printed serial number showing a run of 99 copies.
Separate from
National Treasures Rookie Patches #206, autographs, printing plates, parallels, and cards from other premium products.
Version rule
The checklist identifies #18 as the base card numbered to 99. It is not an RPA. Rookie Patches #206 is a separate memorabilia card and is not an autograph card.

Make a fair comparison

These rules keep different cards from being mixed into one result.

  1. Match the full year, product, card number, and named version before comparing two cards.
  2. Keep base cards, parallels, inserts, autographs, and memorabilia cards in separate comparison groups.
  3. Compare raw cards with raw cards, or use the same grading company and grade when comparing holders.
  4. Treat an asking price as an offer, not evidence of a completed sale.

Inspect before you grade or sell

Condition is a separate question from card identity. Authentication is a separate question too.

  • Check all four corners under direct light.
  • Look across the surface for scratches, print lines, dents, and roller marks.
  • Compare border spacing on the front and back without assuming a scan is perfectly square.
  • Inspect edges for chipping and confirm that any serial stamp or autograph matches the named version.

Questions collectors ask

Short answers that can stand on their own in search.

What number is the Caleb Williams Donruss rookie card?

The selected 2024 Donruss base family uses card number 327. The separate 2024 Donruss Optic base family uses number 201.

What number is the Caleb Williams Prizm rookie card?

The selected 2024 Panini Prizm base family uses card number 301. A named parallel can keep the same number, so the finish still needs to be identified.

Is every shiny Caleb Williams Optic card a Holo?

No. Optic cards have reflective construction, and several separately named versions exist. Confirm the exact checklist label and visual pattern before using Holo or another parallel name.

Does this guide rank Caleb Williams cards by value?

No. It separates five useful collecting lanes so a collector can build an exact comparison group. It does not predict prices, performance, or future demand.

Is the Caleb Williams Downtown #21 the same as Donruss #327?

No. Downtown #21 is a separate insert with its own checklist number. Donruss #327 is the standard Rated Rookie family. Sales for the two cards should not be mixed.

Is National Treasures #18 a Caleb Williams RPA?

No. The National Treasures checklist places #18 in the base set and numbers it to 99. Rookie Patches #206 is a separate memorabilia card, and the checklist does not identify it as an autograph.
