The WNBA Card Podcast: Rittenhouse Evolves — The Later Years with Joy (@herasportscards)
In this episode of The WNBA Card Podcast, Katelyn is joined by Joy (@herasportscards) to break down the second half of the Rittenhouse era from 2010 to 2018.
This was a collector’s market.
Most years had print runs of 500 cards.
One year had only 225 rookie base cards.
On-card autos. Limited supply. Minimal hype.
Joy shares her journey back into the hobby, how community shaped her collecting, and why Rittenhouse cards were bought by people who never planned to sell.
They dig into:
- What the league looked like during this stretch and how that shaped demand
- Why Stewie’s rookie and Maya’s jersey auto still matter
- The A’ja Wilson Platinum /25 and whether the hobby is undervaluing it
- Rookie vs. star psychology then versus now
- What collectors today can learn from a true collector-driven era
If you care about context, scarcity, and long-term thinking in WNBA cards, this episode will sharpen your perspective.
