2023-24 Panini Prizm Victor Wembanyama Blue Prizm Rookie Card

This is a 2023-24 Panini Prizm basketball card featuring the highly touted San Antonio Spurs rookie, Victor Wembanyama. The card is a standard 2.5 by 3.5-inch trading card, constructed from thick premium cardstock with a chrome-like 'Prizm' finish that provides a reflective, metallic luster. This specific parallel appears to be a 'Blue Prizm' or 'Blue Wave' variant, characterized by a distinct blue tint and light-refracting patterns within the background design. The front of the card depicts a high-action photography shot of Wembanyama driving with the basketball, dressed in his black San Antonio Spurs uniform. The upper left corner features the 'Panini Prizm' brand logo, while the bottom of the card displays the athlete's name in bold white lettering against a black bar, flanked by the San Antonio Spurs team logo. The card is currently housed in a clear magnetic 'One-Touch' hard plastic holder, which provides UV protection and physical structural support. From a condition perspective, the card appears to have clean edges and sharp corners through the casing, though there are visible white dust particles or surface specks on the exterior of the plastic holder which should be cleaned before formal grading. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left side, a common manufacturing variance in modern Prizm sets. The craftsmanship is typical of Panini's high-end opti-chrome printing process, known for its deep color saturation and intricate geometric border patterns.
