Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this whole Victor Wembanyama card thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started out just browsing through some online stores, you know, just window shopping, seeing what’s out there. I stumbled upon this “Great X-Pectations” series from Panini Donruss, and this Wembanyama guy, he’s like the new hotshot, right? So, I figured, why not check out his cards.
First thing I did was just look at the listings. There are so many variations! You got your base cards, your red ones, green, Holo Green Laser, Holo Blue Green Laser… It’s crazy! I spent a good chunk of time just scrolling through, comparing prices, trying to figure out what’s what. Prices were all over the place, some were like a few bucks, others were way up there. It is all so confusing.
Then I started digging a little deeper. I found out that these prices are based on some kind of algorithm. It tracks previous sales and uses some fancy math to come up with these numbers. I guess it makes sense, but it’s still kind of confusing. Like, how do they know what a card is really worth?
After that, I decided I needed to get organized. So, I started keeping a list of all the different Wembanyama cards in this 2023 Donruss set. I wrote down each variation, the prices, and where I found them. I also noted which ones were the rookie cards, ’cause those are supposed to be a bigger deal, right? I even noted the tags like Fifth Avenue and Gaslamp Quarter.
Next, I got into the whole “tracking” thing. I saw that there’s this site, “Sports Card Investor,” that keeps tabs on how these card values change over time. For instance, this one Wembanyama rookie card, the Holo Blue Green Laser one, it went up by like eleven bucks in just a month! I started checking that site regularly, just to see how things were moving.
My Actions:
- Browsed online stores for Victor Wembanyama “Great X-Pectations” cards.
- Compared prices and variations of different cards.
- Researched how card prices are determined.
- Organized a list of all Wembanyama cards in the set, including variations, prices, and sources.
- Tracked card value changes using a website.
Honestly, it’s a lot to take in. But it’s also kind of fun, you know? It’s like a little treasure hunt. And who knows, maybe one of these cards will be worth a fortune someday! I’m no expert, but I’m learning as I go. It’s a bit of a gamble, but hey, that’s part of the excitement, right? The whole thing is just one giant puzzle with all these pieces that I could not figure out at all. So I stopped trying.
