Victor Wembanyama 2023–24 Topps NOW Basketball · #VW-3

#VW-3Base · RC-markedRaw

THE MOMENT

Becomes the first NBA player with 28 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, five blocks and five threes

The stat line is unusual enough to belong only to Wembanyama, and Topps made it the entire point of the card. Ten recent exact raw sales center at $25.54 against the $18 issue price. It has real turnover, though the appreciation is still moderate rather than explosive.

OUR TAKE

Wembanyama: why did VW-4 sell for more?

VW-4 fetched more than VW-3 and VW-5 in the sales we found. It also has the smallest print run of the three. The image could be part of the appeal, but the sales alone cannot tell us why buyers chose it.

What to check next

Check whether the price gap lasts. Compare the three images without looking at prices first.
