Manga inserts aren't new to Panini Prizm Basketball, but 2024-25 Panini Prizm Black Basketball continued to take them in a slightly different direction that should make them stand out over time. They're still driven by rarity and they still use the Japanese comic-inspired artwork. However, this group of 15 cards taps more into players' nicknames, teams or personalities.
For this Gem Mint PSA 10 Victor Wembanyama, it channels his nickname, The Alien. Chilling on a flying saucer, the top pick in the 2023 NBA Draft is depicted calm and cool. Without any autographs in NBA products for his first two seasons, this is easily one of Wemby's top sophomore releases.
In fact, Panini Prizm Black Manga has proven to be one of the most sought after inserts among all 2024-25 basketball card releases.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 01/27/2026.
