Graded GEM MT 10 by PSA (92397655). Rookie Card. This is one of three examples of this elite piece recorded at its unimprovable tier in PSA's census reporting. San Antonio Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama—the first overall selection in the 2023 NBA Draft and the league's most hotly anticipated prospect since LeBron James in 2003—appears on this ultra-coveted Panini Select Tie-Dye Prizm debut-year collectible. Wembanyama exceeded expectations in his inaugural season, winning the NBA Rookie of the Year Award with averages of 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, and an NBA-best 3.6 blocks per game. Standing at 7-feet-4 inches with an 8-foot wingspan, the French phenom combines the defensive prowess of Dikembe Mutombo, the court-stretching shooting range of Nikola Jokić, and the slashing ability of Giannis Antetokounmpo into one, never-before-seen package. "Unlimited potential" is perhaps an overused term when it comes to NBA prospects, but Wembanyama possesses the frame and the ability to become the best player in league history. While there is no shortage of jaw-dropping moments from the big man's debut season that more than justify the unprecedented hype he has received, perhaps none encapsulate his talent better than the triple-double he recorded on Feb. 12, 2024, when the Frenchman posted 27 points, 14 rebounds, 10 blocked shots, and five assists in just 29 minutes of play; this was the first triple-double with double-digit blocks in three years. The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered "07/25."
