Top 5 Victor Wembanyama Card Sales of All Time


Victor Wembanyama’s arrival didn’t just reset the rookie record book—it detonated it. At 7-foot-4 with guard skills and global hype, he became the hobby’s perfect storm: a once-in-a-generation talent debuting in an era ruled by ultra-low-print parallels, Logoman shields, and true one-of-ones. Within a single season, every flagship brand—Prizm, National Treasures, Flawless, Optic—produced a grail that now anchors his market. Below are the five cards that already define Wembanyama’s high-end landscape, each illustrating why collectors see his cardboard ceiling as limitless.



1. 2023 Panini Prizm Nebula Choice 1/1

$860,100 (2/22/25)

2023 Panini Prizm Nebula Choice 1/1

The swirling “galaxy” foil of Prizm Nebula is exclusive to Choice boxes, and Wembanyama’s lone copy doubles as a jersey-number match, instantly elevating its mystique. Nebula surfaces are notoriously wave-prone, so a PSA 9 grade on first-year Prizm stock is a small miracle. With no autograph needed, the kaleidoscopic pattern and true 1/1 serial are all the card needs to headline any modern Prizm rainbow.




2. 2023 National Treasures Rookie Logoman 1/1

$528,000 (3/20/25)

2023 National Treasures Rookie Logoman Patch 1/1

National Treasures crowned Wemby with the hobby’s most coveted rookie format: a single NBA shield stitched into 130-point cardstock. Even in PSA 9 trim, thick edges and full-bleed borders show why Logomans rarely grade higher. This shield is player-worn—standard for modern NT—but the prestige of a true 1/1 rookie Logoman still makes it the flagship grail for long-term Wembanyama believers.




3. 2023 Panini Prizm Black Shimmer FOTL 1/1

$516,000 (4/18/24)

2023 Panini Prizm Black Shimmer FOTL 1/1

First-Off-the-Line boxes reserve the Shimmer parallel for a single pack-pulled 1/1, and Wemby’s black version pairs chalk-white Spurs uniforms with a deep-obsidian foil that photographs like liquid glass. Centering and print lines plagued the 2023 run, so a mint grade underscores how clean this copy is. As the only black Prizm parallel outside the hobby-wide Superfractor tier, it serves as the “shadow grail” for Prizm purists chasing absolute scarcity.




4. 2023 Panini Flawless Triple Logoman 1/1 (LeBron / Jokić / Wembanyama)

$348,000 (5/22/25)

2023 Panini Flawless Triple Logoman 1/1 (LeBron / Jokić / Wembanyama)

Flawless encases three NBA shields—one future, one present, one all-time—in a layout so balanced it feels museum-ready. LeBron’s and Jokić’s game-worn patches lend pedigree, while Wemby’s rookie shield provides the speculation upside. Triple Logomans are hobby unicorns, and this card links three eras on the clean, high-gloss canvas that defines Flawless as modern basketball’s luxury line.




5. 2023 Donruss Optic Rated Rookie Gold Vinyl 1/1

$860,100 (11/2/24)

2023 Donruss Optic Rated Rookie Gold Vinyl 1/1

Optic’s Gold Vinyl swirl gives a nod to Topps Superfractors, and Wembanyama’s lone copy is again a jersey-number match—sealing its fate as the key chromium alternative to Prizm. Surface dimpling and print dots are common on Optic, so the PSA 9 grade carries real weight. For collectors who prize the iconic Rated Rookie logo but demand true one-of-one scarcity, this card checks every box.




Final Thoughts

Five different brands—Prizm, National Treasures, Flawless, and Optic—each delivered a unique one-of-one that now anchors Wembanyama’s high-end market. Whether it’s the cosmic nebula swirl, a lone NBA shield, or a triple-Logoman linking legends, these cards prove the hobby is betting big on basketball’s next generational star. As Wemby’s career unfolds, the narratives stitched into these early grails will only deepen their collector appeal.
