Some lucky buyers of the Topps NOW Victor Wembanyama Rookie of the Year card are in for a glowing surprise as they eagerly flip through their mail. According to SCD, a delightful discovery awaits these collectors, with a special glow-in-the-dark variation recently unveiled.
Originally, the standard version of this card made waves by setting a Topps NOW record, with an impressive 113,777 copies flying off the shelves in a mere 72 hours. Despite its popularity, the regular edition of the card can now be snagged on eBay for approximately $25, inviting fans to own a piece of basketball memorabilia.
However, the excitement doesn’t stop there. Those fortunate enough to receive their orders are finding not just any ordinary card but one that lights up the room – quite literally. The glow-in-the-dark version of the Victor Wembanyama card has emerged as a surprise inclusion in certain shipments, turning a routine unboxing into an exhilarating experience.
While Topps has remained tight-lipped about the specific print run of these luminous variations, the market is witnessing a frenzy for these unique collectibles. At present, only a handful of the glow-in-the-dark cards, totaling 15, are up for grabs on eBay, with two lucky souls having already secured their glowing piece of basketball history.
What makes this edition even more special is its subtle tribute to Wembanyama’s moniker, ‘The Alien.’ The ethereal glow encapsulates the mystique and allure surrounding the young basketball prodigy, adding a touch of whimsy to the already sought-after card.
For avid collectors and fans alike, the unexpected appearance of this rare variant has injected a new level of thrill into the hunt for the perfect addition to their collections. The chase is on, as enthusiasts scour the internet and eagerly anticipate the arrival of their next mail delivery, hoping to strike gold with the elusive glow-in-the-dark Victor Wembanyama Rookie of the Year card.
