Latest sentiment on Wembanyama cards
Hey guys, I am looking to pick up some Wemby cards, have been going back and forth on options, and wanted the opinions of the fine gentleman of BO. This is probably opening a can of worms but appreciated nonetheless. I’m more of a baseball collector but have been delving into basketball more as of late.
Where are we at on the 2022 BCU auto? With the Fanatics exclusivity, do we think this will maintain holding power as prospect/rookie era card? I like how the auto is on-card, with the Bowman 1rst, and is not airbrushed out, unlike a typical non-NBA licensed product. I think the image is solid too, as compared to the Prizm RC. I’ve read both arguments, and know of the Ben Simmons comp and also the Luka Doncic Euroleague comp. Personally I assume this will run closer to the Luka comparison but am not as familiar with basketball cards as I would like to be.
I’m not opposed to a low #’d parallel Prizm (or a future Flawless/NT relic RC) but to me, it’s just not as exciting as an auto. I haven’t been able to find anything on the BCU auto print run and was hoping for some clues there. Gemrate shows a graded pop of just under 400 on the base auto. What are our thoughts on the total signed of those?
I am bummed there won’t be a licensed Spurs RC Auto of him but these are the literal cards we are dealt. Any good insight and discussion is appreciated. Thanks!
