2023-24 Panini Donruss Victor Wembanyama Jersey Fusion Beckett Graded 9.5 Card

This item is a 2023-24 Panini Donruss basketball rookie card featuring French phenom Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs. The card is a 'Jersey Fusion' edition, which is unique for incorporating physical memorabilia into a custom-slabbed format. In this specific instance, a piece of a 2023-24 game-used basketball is embedded within the upper right corner of the Beckett grading slab. The card is professionally graded by Beckett (BGS) with a Gem Mint 9.5 rating, indicating exceptional physical condition with sharp corners, clean edges, and vibrant surace quality. The card itself displays Wembanyama in his black Spurs jersey holding a basketball against a dark, modern graphic background. It is housed in a specialty red 'Legendary Collection' presentation box with a custom foam insert designed to hold the graded slab securely. The Beckett label includes a gold border, the grade of 9.5, the serial number 0016141347, and the specific 'Jersey Fusion' designation noting the game-used ball component. The craftsmanship of the slab is high-quality, providing both protection and a premium display aesthetic for this high-value modern collectible. Based on the 2023-24 season labeling, this is a contemporary piece from his debut NBA year.
