Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo revealed that he wants to acquire Victor Wembanyama’s very first rookie card.
Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo might be quite the NBA card collector, as he recently revealed he has his eye on one of the most coveted basketball cards in the world right now.
Antetokounmpo made an appearance at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago last week—a multi-day event—where he joined Goldin Auctions founder Ken Goldin for a live eBay stream.
During the livestream, Giannis revealed the card he's currently chasing: a specific Victor Wembanyama card that he’s determined to add to his collection.
"I want Wemby’s first rookie card ever," Antetokounmpo said.

"I think he’s gonna be one of the best players in the league in the next couple of years," he explained his request.
"I think he will have a very great career moving forward, so maybe like a jersey, his first jersey or his first basketball shoe when he played his first NBA game, or the first ball that he played with and scored his very first point. You gotta go with Wemby, Steph (Curry), LeBron (James), MJ (Michael Jordan). Those are great investments," he added.
Earlier this year, Victor Wembanyama's rookie card sold for $860,100 setting a new record for one of his trading cards.
