Rare Victor Wembanyama basketball card sells for thousands in online auction

A rare Victor Wembanyama basketball card recently sold at auction for north of $15,000.

According to KENS 5 San Antonio, a Victor Wembanyama basketball card recently sold at action at an incredibly high price online. The card in question is a Bowman University 2022 Chrome Refractor card, and the final bid on eBay was for $15,800. The card was rated PSA 10 for being in excellent condition, the highest such grade it could’ve received. Likewise, the card is autographed, adding to its overall value.

Wembanyama has already taken the NBA by storm after being selected No. 1 overall by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2023 draft. His status as one of the league’s most coveted stars was confirmed during a high-profile trip to Las Vegas Summer League, while his celebrity will only grow once he laces up for an actual NBA game this fall.

For now, basketball card auctions and other such moments are good ways to gauge Wembanyama’s star power. The recently auctioned card isn’t the only such collectible to fetch a high price.
