Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30 - $50; PSA 10: $150 - $200
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $35 to $55. PSA 10 gem mint copies have sold consistently in the $180 range during the 2023-24 NBA season peak.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy toward the left and bottom based on the image perspective. Upper right corner shows slight soft edge/chipping inherent to dark border card stocks. Minor surface texture characteristic of matte Inception finish.
Grading Recommendation
Moderate Recommendation. While Wembanyama is the most sought-after rookie of the decade, base Inception cards are printed on thick, dark cardstock prone to corner whitening. Only grade if inspection shows perfect corners and edges, as a grade below 9 may not cover the cost of grading fees.
Card Description
Features Victor Wembanyama in a black San Antonio Spurs 'SATX' City Edition jersey holding a basketball. The design employs a dual-image layout with a full-body action shot on the left and a large, black-and-white close-up portrait on the right. The background is white with stylized grey star outlines representing the Spurs logo.
Notable Features
Features 'ROUND 1 PICK 1' text on the front, denoting his draft status. Includes the Topps Inception logo in the upper left corner and the San Antonio Spurs logo in the lower right. Not serial numbered.
Authentication Notes
Authentic card stock and printing pattern consistent with Fanatics-era Topps Inception basketball releases. The matte finish and specific spot-UV gloss applications on the player name are correct for this product line.
