With no NBA-licensed cards from his first two seasons in the league, 2025-26 Topps Chrome Victor Wembanyama autographs carry tremendous significance. And when it comes to their many parallels, few are more coveted than this /50 Gold Refractor.
During its initial run from 1996-97 to 2009-10, Topps Chrome was one of the top brands in all of basketball cards. The line was put on hold after Panini took over as the NBA exclusive for the next 11 years. When Topps Chrome returned as a fully licensed release in 2025-26, it picked up where it left off with a strong mix of colorful parallels and autographs.
Featuring an on-card signature, it's one of Wemby's earliest autograph cards to feature him in a Spurs uniform.
While Gold Refractors carry rarity, they also rank among the most popular colors, sometimes commanding more than cards with slightly smaller print runs. They look stunning, symbolize status and carry a history that dates back to earlier days when Refractor rainbows were much smaller.
