The WNBA Card Podcast: Defining The Role and Importance of First Gen Collectors

This week on The WNBA Card Podcast , Katelyn and Brett explore a powerful question: Are we living in the first generation of true WNBA card collectors? Fresh off The National, they share what they saw, who they met, and the signals that this category is evolving fast. From the boom in W gear on the show floor to organic trades, meetups, and an online sales spike, the energy around WNBA cards feels different—and more authentic—than ever before. You’ll hear: What it means to be a “first gen” W collector Why 2019 Donruss and 2020 Prizm continue to matter Reactions to the Rookie Royalty launch How collectors are influencing future value—intentionally or not The importance of community, relationships, and trust An incredible Card Ladder sales comparison from National 2024 to 2025 Grail talk, pickups of the week, and a loaded mailbag Whether you’re new to W cards or already deep in the weeds, this episode is your checkpoint for understanding where we are—and where we’re going.
