Drafted as a 2nd overall pick in the first round of the 2020 draft, James Wiseman came into the league with big expectations on his shoulders.
And because of that, there was a lot of interest in James Wiseman rookie cards, too.
You’ll find a wide variety of rookies, from the mainstream base cards to the more exotic and rare cards that are more expensive.
Here, we’re going to take a peek at some of them.
Best James Wiseman Rookie Cards
These are some of the best rookie cards of this commanding center.
2020 Panini Prizm James Wiseman RC #268
What better way to start this list than with Panini Prizm, which is the go-to rookie card for many basketball card collectors.
The reason why this card is such a safe bet is because of its reputation. It is always a good investment for good ROI and at the same time, it’s not that expensive either (at least not as much as some other cards).
Plus, there’s a wild variety of parallels (so-called Prizms) to choose from if you’re looking for something an extra bit special.
All in all, you can’t go wrong if you decide on Panini Prizm and it is a great starting option for many people out there.
2020 Donruss Rated Rookie James Wiseman RC #226
Along with Panini Prizm, Donruss Rated Rookie has become the most significant rookie card, especially when it comes to basketball cards.
If you’ve been collecting basketball cards for some time now, then you’re probably already used to the design of Donruss Rated Rookie – you won’t spot a great deal of change in the 2020 edition, too.
Perhaps there’s not as much variety with Donruss as there is with Panini Prizm. That is the only downside if you want parallels.
Donruss is a great option even if you’re on a budget, as you might be able to get yourself a good deal.
2020 Panini Select James Wiseman RC #62
Panini Select also comes with some interesting options for you. If you prefer to have a budget card, then you can simply go with the base card.
However, there’s something for you to love even if you’re after something a bit more exotic.
On the image, we have the Blue Concourse parallel, but there’s great variety as well. For example, this shiny Hyper Prizm will turn heads, no doubt. It does come at a higher price, though.
Panini Select is another great mainstream option that you simply can’t go wrong with. It’s a great option if you’re looking for a good ROI as well, and you might find some rarer parallels attractive if you have a bit more to spend.
2020 Panini Prizm DP Downtown James Wiseman RC #D1
Now, this card is a bit special. The style might not be for everyone, mind you; but if you appreciate the detail and the immaculate graphics, then you’ll adore this one.
Another attractive factor is the shiny background which will leave you dazzled.
Perhaps one of the challenges with getting this card is that it doesn’t have as many cards printed as, say, Panini Prizm.
This card is a great option for ROI as well as for adding an impressive option to your collection.
2020 Crown Royale Kaboom! James Wiseman RC
Moving on to more expensive cards, we have the Crown Royale Kaboom! James Wiseman rookie card.
Now, with the Kaboom! brand of cards, it’s typical to get a shiny card with a lot going on the card, so if you’ve owned some of these in the past, you shouldn’t be surprised with this one.
Though if you’re looking for a more budget-oriented card, then you might want to look at alternatives that you’ve seen above.
2020 Spectra James Wiseman RC #209
The 2020 edition of Spectra rookie cards for James Wiseman comes with great variety.
From more colorful options to one-color options, you’ll be able to choose something you like. But know that some of these cards can be quite expensive.
For example, here’s another interesting Spectra card that might fancy your tickle:
Both could be interesting, but the values will differ.
You know how it goes – the rarer the card is, the more expensive it is going to be, and some Spectra cards are quite rare.
2020 Immaculate Collection James Wiseman RC
Immaculate Collection is another interesting option that also includes the jersey patch and the autograph on the card.
Some of these cards also have the dual patch on them, while others have the autograph and the jersey patch.
There’s a sense of premium with this card, especially when you consider that most of the time, the quantity of these cards is limited.
Nevertheless, some of these cards could be gotten for decent prices if you’re willing to risk getting a non-graded card, even.
2020 Contenders James Wiseman RC #115
Here it is – the famous rookie ticket that’s so typical for basketball cards. This specific card in the image is the blue shimmer parallel, but you’ll also be able to find cheaper base cards.
You’ll see that even these cards have some interesting varieties, so make sure that you choose the right one that fits your needs and your budget.
2020 National Treasures James Wiseman Patch Auto RC #124
We simply could not wrap up this list without including arguably the most valuable James Wiseman rookie card, the National Treasures card.
Admittedly, this might not be your option if you don’t have the bucks to get it, but we can all appreciate the beauty of this card.
The large jersey patch, the clean on-card autograph, and the overall elegant design make this one a must-have if you’re set on buying a James Wiseman card and you’re willing to go all-in.
Just know that there are only 99 cards of this type if you’re looking for the base card, so you might have to dig deeper to find the one you like and the one that fits your budget.
