Fanatics向ESPN证实，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的一张独一无二（限量1张）的2023-24赛季Panini Prizm系列黑色平行卡（Black parallel），已通过Fanatics Collect在一次私下交易中以511万美元的价格售出。这创下了文班亚马球星卡的历史最高成交价纪录，同时在篮球球星卡和所有运动类球星卡的成交价历史排行榜上，也分别高居第四位和第十一位。
这同时也是已知成交价最高的非签字版NBA球星卡，以及2026年第三张成交价达到500万美元的运动类球星卡。
此前，文班亚马球星卡的最高成交纪录是2025年2月在Goldin拍卖会上创下的860,100美元，当时成交的是同一套Prizm系列中另一张独一无二的限量1张平行卡。值得注意的是，市面上并没有获得官方授权的文班亚马新秀签字卡；文班亚马与Fanatics签有独家协议，而后者在10月份接管了NBA球星卡的独家授权。在文班亚马的新秀赛季，独家授权商则是Panini。
这张被专业体育认证机构（Professional Sports Authenticator，简称PSA）评为10分的球星卡，是由一位名叫卡维尔·麦克唐纳 (Cavelle McDonald) 的收藏家在NorCal Sports Cards卡店拆箱获得的，而围绕这张卡还有一段颇具争议的逸闻。在2024年的一段视频中，麦克唐纳和卡店老板托马斯·林登塔尔 (Thomas Lindenthal) 将这张卡带到（PSA母公司）Collector’s的总部进行评级。当得知被评为10分时，林登塔尔向“Kurt’s Card Care”表达了感谢。Kurt’s Card Care生产的产品旨在“安全地清洁可收藏的卡片，修复和处理卡边”、“消除影响卡片表面的微小瑕疵”，并“在可能的情况下使其恢复到接近出厂时的状态”。
在球星卡收藏界，对卡片进行“清洁”和“修改”是遭到谴责的行为，且PSA不会对任何其认为经过修改的卡片进行评级。PSA的评级标准禁止清洁行为，并且对于存在修剪迹象、修复或重新着色、真实性存疑、材质被修改、未达到最低出厂尺寸要求、有清洁迹象或裁剪失误等情况的卡片，将予以退回并定义为“无评分”（no grade）。其中，“N5 材质修改”（N5 Altered Stock）和“N7 清洁迹象”（N7 Evidence of Cleaning）均涵盖了“在卡片表面涂抹任何外来物质，例如清洁喷雾或蜡”的情况。
文班亚马最近成为了NBA历史上首位全票当选的最佳防守球员，也是本赛季唯一一位全票入选NBA最佳防守阵容一阵的球员，并在本赛季的NBA常规赛MVP投票中位列第三。

Victor Wembanyama card sells for $5.11 million in private sale
Victor Wembanyama’s 1-of-1 numbered 2023-24 Panini Prizm Black parallel has sold for $5.11 million in a private sale via Fanatics Collect, Fanatics confirmed to ESPN. It’s by far the most ever spent on a Wembanyama card, and the fourth and 11th most spent on a basketball and a sports card, respectively.
It’s also the most expensive known sale of a non-autographed NBA card and the third sports card sold for $5 million in 2026.
The previous most ever spent on a Wembanyama card was $860,100 in a February 2025 Goldin auction, on a different 1-of-1 numbered parallel from the same Prizm set. Notably, there are no licensed Wembanyama autographed rookie cards; Wembanyama has an exclusive deal with Fanatics, who took over the exclusive NBA trading card license in October. The exclusive licensee during Wembanyama’s rookie year was Panini.
The card – graded a 10 by Professional Sports Authenticator – was pulled from a box by a collector named Cavelle McDonald at NorCal Sports Cards and has a controversial lore. In a 2024 video, McDonald and shop owner Thomas Lindenthal bring the card to (PSA parent company) Collector’s headquarters for grading, where Lindenthal thanks Kurt’s Card Care upon the 10 grade reveal. Kurt’s Card Care makes products "to safely clean collectible cards, restore and treat edges, “removes minor issues that affect the cards surface,” and “gets them back to a factory like finish when possible.”
Card cleaning and altering are decried in the collecting space, and PSA won’t grade cards it finds to be altered. PSA’s grading standards prohibit cleaning, and it will return cards with “no grade” definitions ranging from evidence of trimming, restoration or recoloration, questionable authenticity, altered stock, not meeting minimum factory size requirements, evidence of cleaning, or miscutting. Both “N5 Altered Stock” and “N7 Evidence of Cleaning” cover “when any foreign substance is applied to the surface of a card such as cleaning spray or wax.”
Wembanyama recently became the NBA’s first unanimous Defensive Player of the Year, was the lone unanimous selection for the NBA’s All-Defensive First Team and finished third in the NBA MVP voting this season.
