Victor Wembanyama basketball cards are in high demand, fetching huge sums at auctions.
SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Spurs‘ Victor Wembanyama’s basketball cards are a hot commodity among collectors and sellers. And if another recent Goldin auction is any indication, Wemby cards could fetch you a fortune if you have the right one.
A 2023 Crown Royale Victor Wembanyama No. 11 Kaboom! Gold card sold for a whopping $53,680 on Goldin on Mar 29, 2025.
Yes, you read that right.
It’s unreal, but Wemby cards selling for big money is not unusual.
According to Goldin auction house, a recent Wemby card put for auction became the all-time highest public sale ($860,100) for any Wemby card.
Indeed, Wemby cards are in high demand at auction sales and among those who want their cards graded.
The Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) is seeing a spike in requests to grade them.
According to the PSA, Wemby’s cards have received 113,800 card-grading requests. His cards are the most requested among athletes, with the WNBA’s Caitlin Clark a distant second with 47,100 requests.
And it is not just his cards that are big-time selling items.
Anything with his autograph will earn top money, and even cards of him wearing a Yankees baseball jersey before the Spurs drafted him are worth a lot of money.
Wemby cards are a hot commodity; even a one-of-one Wembanyama rookie basketball card at auction had a starting bid of $31,000.
The French big man is also a fan of the hobby.
During the offseason, he participated in a Topps “Rip Night” in San Antonio, where he met with fans to celebrate card collecting.
“I’m starting to have a little collection,” Wembanyama said to fans in attendance. “I’ve got cards of myself, of course.”
