Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $25; PSA 10 (Gem Mint): $50 - $80
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw Panini Instant Wembanyama Draft cards range from $8 to $15 plus shipping. PSA 10 copies have recently settled between $55 and $75.
Condition Details
Observed centering appears slightly shifted toward the top. The corners and edges are protected by the top loader, but the card exhibits no major visible surface defects. Some minor manufacturing print lines may be present as common with Panini Instant stock.
Grading Recommendation
Moderate Recommendation. As a Panini Instant card (Print-on-Demand), the volume is high, but Wembanyama remains the most sought-after player. If the card surface is flawless, a PSA 10 grade adds significant liquidity and a value premium, though current raw values are low.
Card Description
Victor Wembanyama in his San Antonio Spurs home jersey (number 1) during a photo shoot. He is shown mid-motion holding a basketball. The card features a clean black and silver minimalist design typical of the Panini Instant brand, celebrating his selection as the #1 overall pick.
Notable Features
Features the official 'Rookie Card' (RC) logo in the upper left corner. This is one of the earliest official cards featuring Wembanyama in an NBA uniform.
Authentication Notes
The card features the standard high-gloss finish of Panini Instant products. The typography and logo placement are consistent with Panini’s 2023 release for the NBA Draft.
