For most major league baseball players of the past 20-plus years, some of their first mainstream baseball cards hailed from a Bowman set. In recent years, Topps has brought that prospecting mindset to basketball with Bowman Chrome University. Among the ""1st Bowman Chrome Autographs"" in the 2022-23 collegiate release was one of the biggest hoops prospects in some time, Victor Wembanyama.
Now an NBA superstar, 2022-23 Bowman Chrome University Basketball features one of Wemby's earliest autograph cards. Among the base version's 11 Refractor parallels, this /25 Orange Refractor ranks as one of the most popular and prestigious. Only the /5 Red Refractor, /5 Red Shimmer Refractor and 1/1 Superfractor are more rare.
Graded a Gem Mint BGS 9.5, subgrades include 10 for Corners and Edges, and 9.5 for Centering. The autograph has been assessed as a 10. It's a pop 1 in the company's census with none ranking higher.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 05/28/2026.
