2023-24 Panini NBA Hoops Premium Stock #282 Rising Stars Victor Wembanyama (RC)

Victor Wembanyama. #282. Rising Stars. Rookie Card. This is the one that started it all — the official Panini rookie of the most generationally rare NBA prospect since LeBron James, pulled from one of the most chromium-loaded retail releases of the 2023-24 season.

2023-24 Panini NBA Hoops Premium Stock is the chrome-upgraded companion to the flagship Hoops set, built on a 20-point chromium stock that gives every card a reflective Scope finish that raw Hoops simply can't match.

The set carries a massive parallel rainbow of 40 versions per card, from unlicensed Silver Prizm to serial-numbered colored parallels (Red Disco /149, Blue Seismic /99, Red Prizm /88) all the way to Gold /10 and one-of-one Nebula and Gold Vinyl finishers.
