Wembanyama vs Flagg: The 2026-27 NBA Memorabilia Guide
Share
Saturday night in Dallas, the Mavericks play their home opener against the Spurs, and it is the game of the first week for one reason: Victor Wembanyama against Cooper Flagg. Both went first overall in their drafts, both won Rookie of the Year, and both are already the faces of their franchises. It is also a good week to talk about signed NBA memorabilia, because the season opens with two of the most collected young players in basketball at the center of it. This guide covers what we carry, how each piece is authenticated, and what it costs.
Tip is 8pm ET. In four wins over Flagg's Mavericks last season, Wembanyama averaged 31.1 points, 12.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks. Flagg still put up 22.3 points a game in those losses, which tells you how this rivalry is likely to feel for the next decade.
Victor Wembanyama, the First Unanimous Defensive Player of the Year
Wembanyama was the first pick in 2023 and Rookie of the Year in his first season. Last season he became the first unanimous Defensive Player of the Year in league history, then carried the Spurs to the NBA Finals, where he averaged 26.0 points, 11.2 rebounds and 3.6 blocks against the Knicks. A 7 foot 4 player who protects the rim like that and also handles the ball has no real precedent, and collectors have noticed.
We carry two Wembanyama pieces, both certified by Beckett. The custom framed jersey display is $1,288.00: a black number 1 Spurs jersey signed in black ink, mounted over black and silver matting with two photographs and SPURS lettering. It is framed to order and ships in 2 to 3 weeks. The signed Spurs jersey is $988.00, signed on the back number 1, and ships unframed in 2 to 3 weeks if you would rather choose your own frame.
Cooper Flagg, Rookie of the Year, Now in Year Two
Flagg went first overall in 2025 after a season at Duke in which he was the National College Player of the Year. As a rookie he averaged 21.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists and won Rookie of the Year. Saturday is his first game of the new season in front of the home crowd, against the player who beat him four times last season.
Our Cooper Flagg custom framed jersey display is $1,088.00 and certified by JSA: a royal blue number 32 Mavericks jersey signed in black ink, mounted over navy and silver matting with two photographs and MAVERICKS lettering. It is framed to order and ships in 2 to 3 weeks.
Jalen Brunson and the Champion Knicks
The team both of them are chasing plays in New York. The Knicks beat the Spurs four games to one in June for their first championship since 1973, and Jalen Brunson was Finals MVP, averaging 32.6 points in the series and scoring 45 in the clinching Game 5 in San Antonio.
Both of our Brunson pieces are certified by PSA. The custom framed jersey display is $1,088.00, a white number 11 Knicks jersey framed to order. The signed Knicks jersey is $788.00, signed on the back number and shipping unframed in 2 to 3 weeks. For the fan who wants the moment rather than a signature, the Knicks 2025-26 NBA Champions New Era 9FIFTY snapback is $38.00, in stock and ready to ship in 1 to 2 business days. It is not signed, and it is priced like it.

How to Buy Signed NBA Memorabilia With Confidence
Every signed piece in this guide comes with a numbered certificate from an independent authenticator: Beckett, JSA, PSA, Panini Authentic or Upper Deck. You look that number up on the authenticator's own site rather than ours, which is the point: the record proving the signature is genuine does not depend on our word. We check every certificate against the authenticator's database before a piece ships.
The labels mean different things. Beckett Witnessed, on the Larry Bird display, means a Beckett representative was in the room when Bird signed. Panini Authentic and Upper Deck Authenticated pieces come from those companies' own private signings. Beckett, JSA and PSA authentication on the rest means the signature was examined by the authenticator and certified.
One more distinction, because it trips up a lot of buyers. A certificate proves the signature. It says nothing about whether a jersey was ever worn in a game, and none of ours were: everything here is new collector stock, signed for autograph purposes. If a seller blurs that line, ask for the paperwork that says otherwise. Our authenticator guide covers what each certificate actually commits to.
