A Topps Dynasty Victor Wembanyama Autograph 1/1 card, covered in doodles drawn by the San Antonio Spurs star, will sell in Goldin’s December Elite Auction.

As of Wednesday afternoon, bidding had reached $21,960, including buyer’s premium, with more than 17 days remaining. Bidding ends Jan. 3.

Released as part of Topps’ ultra high-end 2023 Dynasty set, Wembanyama landed in a baseball product after throwing out a first pitch prior to a New York Yankees game on June 20, 2023. It was also an opportunity for Topps to utilize exclusive rights for Wembanyama’s autographs in a licensed set prior to taking over rights for the NBA.

In addition to Wembanyama’s autograph, the former No. 1 overall pick added a series of doodles to the card, including a mustache to his own face and drawings of an alien and a UFO to the left and right of his image that pay homage to his nickname, “The Alien.”

According to Card Ladder, the public record for a Topps Wembanyama card is the $170,800 paid for a 2023-24 Topps Mercury Autograph Foilfractor 1/1 at Goldin in November 2025.

The record for a Wembanyama Dynasty card appears to be the $49,000 paid for a similar First Pitch card, numbered out of 10, on eBay in 2024.
