This 2023 Topps Allen & Ginter X Victor Wembanyama #271 is the black-border version of his Allen & Ginter rookie card (RC), graded SGC 10 Gem Mint. Allen & Ginter X is the scarcer black-bordered edition of the set, and the dark border makes centering and edge wear easy to spot, so a Gem Mint 10 stands out. SGC labels both versions #271; this listing is the black-border card, cert 6210016.
Victor Wembanyama developed in France with Metropolitans 92 before the San Antonio Spurs selected him 1st overall in the 2023 NBA Draft. The 7-foot-plus phenom won 2024 NBA Rookie of the Year and earned his first All-Star selection in 2025, quickly becoming the face of the Spurs franchise and one of the most talked-about young players in the game. In the 2025–26 season, he averaged 25.0 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game. His career honors include the 2026 Defensive Player of the Year award.
