The Evolution of Women's Sports Cards with Annemarie (@women.on.topps)
WNBA cards are having a moment, but the history behind them runs deep.
In this episode, I sit down with Annemarie (@women.on.topps) to talk about the evolution of women’s sports cards, the growth of WNBA collecting, and why we’re seeing a surge in interest today. She’s been collecting for decades, writes for The Athletic, and knows this space inside and out.
We discuss:
- The early days of WNBA cards and the role of Pinnacle, Fleer, and Rittenhouse
- How eBay shaped the women’s sports card market before hobby shops cared
- The impact of NIL, social media, and Caitlin Clark on WNBA collecting
- Breaking culture, price spikes, and what it means for longtime collectors
- Why veteran WNBA cards are still so undervalued
If you’ve been following WNBA cards or thinking about diving in, this episode is a must-listen.
