After a Dec. 27 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama walked over to a young fan holding a sign that read “Victor Wembanyama will you swap jersey with me?” and did just that.
Now, less than a month later, Goldin Auctions has announced the jersey will be sold as part of its Goldin 100 auction.
Video of the “best jersey swap ever,” as the Spurs' X account called it, went viral, with more than 4 million views on the social platform.
This isn’t the first time Wembanyama swapped jerseys with a young fan, having previously done the same with a kid who asked for an autograph after a game in November.
As one of the NBA’s most hyped young stars, Wembanyama’s memorabilia has sold for noteworthy sums at auction in recent years. One of the jerseys he wore during his NBA debut sold for more than $760,000 at Sotheby’s in November 2023.
His most expensive card sale to date was the $516,000 paid for his 2023 Panini Prizm Black Shimmer FOTL 1/1 rookie card in April 2024.
