SAN ANTONIO — Luck was certainly on the side of this local San Antonio Spurs fan, and she did not know it.
Lynne, a huge Spurs fan and fanatic of basketball cards, went to the local store, Boomtown Sports Cards & Collectibles, located on Bandera Rd., for her daily stop to pick up a pack of cards on the hunt for a Victor Wembanyama card.
But she will never forget this visit; fortunately, she realized her tremendous stroke of luck.
Lynne pulled the rare, one-of-one Wembanyama Superfractor card from a pack of Bowman University cards and didn't realize it.
"Oh, that’s a pretty Wemby,” she said, not realizing she was holding one of the rarest Wemby cards.
Ultimately, she was made aware of the one-of-a-kind card but still says she is looking for an autographed Wemby card.
“But I still want a Wemby auto," she said.
The card could be valued in the thousands of dollars based on other rare Wemby cards.
Recently, collectible auction house Goldin announced a rookie Wemby White Prizm card sold for a staggering $13,420, which Goldin claims is an all-time sale price in that particular card style.
Also, a 1-of-1 Topps Dynasty Wembanyama card was pulled during a box break, which will likely reach a record all-time price. It featured drawings of a UFO, an alien, a mustachioed Wemby, and his autograph by the Spurs center himself.
It also has a piece of the NY Yankees jersey he wore this past summer ahead of the 2023 NBA Draft.
Keep on visiting your local card stores. You never know if you will be the next to pull one of the rarest Wemby cards.
