Ousmane Dembélé is one of those players whose early cards quietly flew under the radar — and when you actually look at the numbers, the print runs are surprisingly friendly for collectors.

Aficionado #57 — Artist’s Proofs Done Right

His Aficionado rookie (#57) has a short, simple, and easy-to-track parallel lineup:

• Artist’s Proof Red /99
• Artist’s Proof Bronze /49
• Artist’s Proof Gold 1/1

That’s it. No confusion, no rainbow overload — just straightforward scarcity.
Total numbered copies from this card run: 149.

Revolution “On The Rise” #OTR-7

Another key early card comes from Panini Revolution, On The Rise insert:

• Cosmic /100
• Manga /49
• Disco /25

Again — controlled parallels that make collecting fun instead of stressful.
Total numbered copies here: 174.

Why Dembélé’s rookies work:

• short parallel lists
• real scarcity
• inserts that still feel important

With totals like 323 numbered rookies combined between these two major cards, Dembélé’s early market is far smaller than many modern stars — and that’s exactly what makes collectors pay attention.
