The WNBA Card Podcast: Rittenhouse Enters — The Early Years with Garrett of WNBAcards.com
In this episode of the WNBA Card Podcast, Katelyn sits down with Garrett of WNBACards.com to unpack one of the most important chapters in WNBA collecting history: the Rittenhouse era from 2005–2010
This was the low print run era.
Five thousand boxes became five hundred.
On-card autos were everywhere.
And some of the most important rookie cards in the hobby were born.
We break down:
- Why the 2008 Candace Parker rookie still anchors the era
- How on-card autos from 2005–2007 became cornerstones for collectors
- What Rittenhouse got right — and what they completely missed
- Why culture and marketing matter as much as scarcity
- How today’s collectors can approach this era with intention
Garrett shares how he went from chasing Zion to building a seven-figure WNBA card business and launching a database with 60,000+ cards and 77,000+ sales comps.
If you care about scarcity, print runs, culture shifts, and long-term significance, this episode will reframe how you think about the middle chapter of WNBA collecting.
