The recent surge in WNBA card sales, headlined by Angel Reese’s record-breaking $30,000 sale, is a significant moment for women’s sports collectibles. Reese’s jump from a previous high of $8,500 to $30K is not just a reflection of her rising stardom, but also part of a broader trend where fans and investors are recognizing the long-term value of WNBA talent.
This comes on the heels of Caitlin Clark’s card also hitting a record high, indicating a healthy and growing demand for women’s basketball memorabilia. Clark and Reese, both NCAA sensations turned WNBA standouts, have brought new eyes to the league and the market is responding. Their on-court impact, massive social media presence, and growing fan bases are creating momentum not seen in the WNBA card scene until now.
What’s especially notable is the demographic shift. Younger, more digitally savvy collectors are helping to drive prices up, aided by platforms like eBay, Goldin, and social media marketplaces. As women’s sports gain more mainstream media coverage and TV time, expect this trend to continue.
From an investment perspective, the market is treating players like Reese and Clark similarly to how it treated Zion Williamson or Luka Dončić early in their NBA careers. The difference now? There’s a cultural movement behind it. These sales aren’t just about stats they’re about influence, relevance, and impact.
In short, Reese’s $30K sale isn’t a fluke, it’s a signal. The WNBA card market is entering a new era, and collectors are taking notice.
