Victor Wembanyama represents the future of the NBA. This 2023-24 Panini Prizm Deca represents a recent past. The set is a throwback to the original Prizm Basketball release from 2012-13 and uses the same designs. The debut had a very different take on parallels with /10 Gold Prizms being the rarest.
While that's not the case in Deca, this Black Gold Shimmer Prizms is one of Wemby's rarest parallels in the product. Numbered /8, these are one of three different Shimmer Prizms that were exclusive to special 1st Off the Line boxes sold on Panini's website. Overall, only /5 Black Gold, 1/1 Black and 1/1 Black Shimmer Prizms are more rare.
Another factor in this card's overall appeal is that Wembanyama doesn't have any rookie autographs in NBA-licensed products. This makes his top-tier inserts and parallels stand out even more as collectors chase his very best cards. Looking forward and back at the same time, there are plenty of benchmarks that suggest this is high on the list of Wemby's best.
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.
