Raw: $3 - $8 / PSA 10 Target: $25 - $40
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of the 2023 Topps Basketball base cards range from $2 to $10 depending on volume. This specific design was widely distributed as part of a promotional set.
Condition Details
The centering appears slightly heavy on the right side. Minor edge whitening is visible on the bottom edge. Surface appears clean through the top-loader, but minor micro-scratches are common on these dark border cards.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless you are certain it is a PSA 10. The high population of these cards and relatively low market value for raw copies make the grading fees often exceed the card's value increase for lower grades.
Card Description
Victor Wembanyama is featured in his San Antonio Spurs light blue 'City Edition' style jersey, holding a basketball as if preparing for a shot. The card features a dark, modern border with the San Antonio Spurs logo in the bottom left.
Notable Features
Features the 'Topps' logo which marked Topps' return to basketball licensed products for the 2023-24 season. It is considered a 'pseudo-rookie' or promotional rookie card as Panini held the exclusive NBA license for the 2023 season.
Authentication Notes
The card stock, font, and logo placement are consistent with authentic 2023 Topps Basketball promotional releases. The holographic elements on the border react correctly to light.
