Antoine Semenyo is one of the most exciting young forwards to emerge in the Premier League in recent seasons. Born in London and developed through the youth academy at Bristol City, Semenyo joined AFC Bournemouth in January 2024 and immediately became one of the division’s most dynamic attacking players — combining electric pace, directness, and a clinical edge that have made him a genuine watchlist target for top-flight clubs.
For collectors, Semenyo represents exactly the type of profile that sharp hobbyists track: a player whose card supply was established during a breakout season, with a focused and clearly structured rookie checklist built around Panini’s flagship soccer products.
This report covers Semenyo’s complete rookie-era collectible journey — from his true first mainstream release through his officially badged RC cards and their full parallel structures.
Why Collectors Are Watching
Semenyo’s rookie market is defined by a notable contrast: a large numbered card supply across multiple premium Panini products, but with an entry point that rewards collectors who understand the full checklist. His 2023-24 season produced cards across Prizm, Obsidian, Immaculate, Impeccable, Select, and Score — giving the market multiple entry levels from accessible to ultra-rare. For a Bournemouth-era breakout player, that breadth of premium product coverage is uncommon and signals how highly the industry rated his debut season.
Card #1 — True First Collectible
2022-23 Panini Premier League Stickers Transfer Update #U4
Type: Sticker
Serial Numbered: No
This is Semenyo’s earliest mainstream collectible — a Transfer Update sticker released mid-season, coinciding with his arrival at Bournemouth from Bristol City. It carries no serial number, but it marks the true beginning of his collectible timeline. Collectors building a complete Semenyo timeline start here.
Collector Note: The Transfer Update sticker is Semenyo’s true first card — released before any premium hobby product covered him. It predates his full rookie year by one full season. That distinction matters for completionists.
Card #2 — The Key Rookie Card
2023-24 Panini Prizm Premier League #237
Type: Trading Card
Serial Numbered (Base): No
This is the centerpiece of Semenyo’s rookie market. Card #237 in the 2023-24 Prizm Premier League base set, the Semenyo Prizm sits within one of the hobby’s most collected annual soccer releases. Prizm’s parallel rainbow is among the most expansive in the industry — running from freely available non-numbered variants to ultra-scarce 1/1s — making this card accessible at multiple price points while offering serious chase cards at the top.

Card #3 — Panini Obsidian #2
2023-24 Panini Obsidian Soccer #2
Type: Trading Card
Serial Numbered (Base): Yes — /120
Obsidian is one of the most visually distinctive high-end Panini soccer releases, known for its vivid Electric Etch parallel structure. Every card in the Obsidian base set is serial-numbered, making Semenyo’s #2 a numbered card from the base itself. The Electric Etch parallels run from /49 down to a single Blue Finite 1/1.

Total Numbered Cards from This Set: 348 | Total One-of-One Cards: 1
Collector Note: Every Obsidian base card is serial-numbered /120 — every single copy of Semenyo’s #2 is a numbered card. The Electric Etch Contra /9 is a particularly scarce mid-tier target.
Card #4 — Panini Immaculate Collection #104
2023-24 Panini Immaculate Collection #104
Type: Trading Card
Serial Numbered (Base): Yes — /60
Immaculate is Panini’s premium ultra-short print product. Semenyo’s base card is numbered to just 60, with parallels running down to a Platinum 1/1. Also included in this set is a Dual Patches card with Marcus Tavernier (#DP-MA), adding a memorabilia element to Semenyo’s Immaculate footprint.
| Parallel | Print Run |
|---|---|
| Base | /60 |
| Silver | /40 |
| Sapphire | /25 |
| Ruby | /19 |
| Gold | /10 |
| Platinum | 1/1 |
Dual Patches #DP-MA (Tavernier / Semenyo)
| Parallel | Print Run |
|---|---|
| Ruby | /20 |
| Sapphire | /25 |
| Gold | /5 |
| Platinum | 1/1 |
Total Numbered Cards from This Set: 206 | Total One-of-One Cards: 2
Collector Note: The Immaculate base at /60 is Semenyo’s lowest-printed standalone base card across his entire rookie checklist. With only 155 solo numbered copies and a clean parallel ladder, this is the scarcest non-memorabilia entry in his market.
Card #5 — Panini Impeccable Materials #IM-AS
2023-24 Panini Impeccable Premier League — Impeccable Materials #IM-AS
Type: Memorabilia Insert
Serial Numbered: Yes — /99
The Impeccable Materials cards embed actual match-worn memorabilia swatches. The Platinum 1/1 here combines an ultra-low print run with a memorabilia element — one of the scarcest single cards in Semenyo’s entire rookie checklist.
| Parallel | Print Run |
|---|---|
| Base | /99 |
| Silver | /25 |
| Gold | /10 |
| Emerald | /5 |
| Platinum | 1/1 |
Total Numbered Cards from This Set: 140 | Total One-of-One Cards: 1
Collector Note: The Impeccable Platinum 1/1 is a memorabilia 1/1 — the ultimate apex piece in Semenyo’s rookie checklist, combining the scarcest print run with an embedded game-worn swatch.
Card #6 — Panini Select Future #2
2023-24 Panini Select Premier League — Select Future #2
Type: Trading Card (Insert)
Serial Numbered (Base): No
The Select Future insert positions Semenyo among the Premier League’s next generation of standout players. The Tie-Dye /49 is the most accessible numbered entry in this set.
| Parallel | Print Run |
|---|---|
| Tie-Dye | /49 |
| Pink | /25 |
| Gold | /10 |
| Green | /5 |
| Black | 1/1 |
Total Numbered Cards from This Set: 90 | Total One-of-One Cards: 1
Collector Note: Select Future was one of the first premium inserts to spotlight Semenyo in his debut Premier League season — a clean five-parallel structure with a single Black 1/1 at the apex.
Card #7 — Score Premier League Breakthrough #1
2023-24 Score Premier League — Breakthrough #1
Type: Trading Card (Insert)
Serial Numbered (Base): No
Score is a more accessible product but the Breakthrough insert delivers two separate 1/1 variants — Black Lasers and Black Swirl — giving apex collectors two distinct targets in a single, lower-budget release.
| Parallel | Print Run |
|---|---|
| Purple Lasers | /15 |
| Gold Swirl | /10 |
| Black Lasers | 1/1 |
| Black Swirl | 1/1 |
Total Numbered Cards from This Set: 27 | Total One-of-One Cards: 2
Collector Note: Two distinct 1/1 variants from a single Score insert — Black Lasers and Black Swirl are separate, unique cards. Both exist independently in the hobby.

Collector Insight
Antoine Semenyo entered the Premier League hobby at an interesting moment. Unlike older generation players who may have had only stickers and mass-market releases during their rookie seasons, Semenyo’s debut in the 2023-24 market coincided with Panini’s full premium soccer suite — meaning his rookie checklist is broad, structured, and covers every level of collector from the casual to the ultra-premium.
With 2,159 total numbered rookie cards and 12 one-of-ones, Semenyo’s supply is well distributed across six distinct product lines, each with their own entry point and collector base. The Prizm #237 remains the anchor of his market as the most widely recognized and traded card, while the Immaculate Collection at /60 offers the scarcest standalone non-memorabilia copy. The Impeccable Platinum 1/1 memorabilia sits at the ultimate apex.
What collectors are watching is whether Semenyo’s on-pitch development continues at the rate his first full Premier League season suggested. If so, 2,159 total numbered copies is a fixed supply. It does not grow. It stays at 2,159 forever.
Final Thoughts
Semenyo’s rookie structure is clearly defined across seven releases. The Prizm #237 is the market anchor. The Immaculate /60 is the scarcest solo card. The Impeccable Platinum 1/1 memorabilia is the ultimate apex piece. For collectors targeting Premier League breakout forwards before the mainstream catches on, Semenyo’s rookie checklist is one of the most clearly structured in the current market.
His total rookie numbered cards: 2,159 | One-of-Ones: 12
