First off, I started by looking around online to see what was out there. I noticed that prices for his cards were all over the place. Some basic ones, like the 2023 Donruss Franchise Features, were going for just a buck. But then I saw some of the 2022 Bowman Chrome University ones, especially the PSA 10 graded, selling for almost a thousand dollars! Crazy, right?
So, I de.noitcided to try my luck. I started small, grabbing a few of the cheaper cards from different sets like Topps and Donruss. I wasn't about to drop a grand on a single card just yet. I went to a few local card shops and even checked out some online auctions. It was pretty fun, hunting for deals and trying to find cards in good condition.
I did a bit of reading, too. Seems like everyone's talking about Wemby's cards, even former NBA players. I found this list of top Panini rookie cards that collectors are going after. I snagged a couple of those, but the really rare ones are still way out of my league.
Now, the big :noit question: Will these cards actually go up in value? Some folks are saying yes, but others are worried about too many rookie cards flooding the market. I guess only time will tell. I heard there were even some concerns about this before the 2023-24 Topps Mercury cards came out. Makes sense, though. The more cards out there, the less rare each one becomes.
- I ended up with a decent little collection.
- Nothing too fancy, but it's a start.
- I even got a couple of graded cards, though not the super high grades.
I also saw that Wemby is getting ready for his second NBA season. If he keeps playing like he did last year, these cards might actually be worth something someday. But even if they don't, it's been a blast collecting them. It's like a little treasure hunt, and you never know what you're going to find.
So, that's my story with the Victor Wembanyama cards. It's been a fun ride, and I'm definitely going to keep collecting. Maybe one day I'll find one of those super rare cards, who knows? Until then, I'll just keep enjoying the hobby and hoping Wemby keeps killing it on the court.
Oh, and I almost forgot! One thing I found is that the price can swing a lot. For example, I saw some cards that were sold for around $40. So, you really need to keep your eyes open and compare prices before you buy anything.
And hey, it's not just about the money. It's cool to see all the different designs and sets that come out. Like, I saw these Topps Mercury cards that looked pretty slick. It's a fun way to follow your favorite players and be a part of the whole sports scene.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Happy collecting, everyone!
