10 WNBA Cards to Buy Right Now

This is still Caitlin Clark's market, even in a Finals without her. These are the top 10 WNBA cards to buy in October.

By Jeff Newman·Oct 12, 2026

Angel Reese's Atlanta Dream swept Sabrina Ionescu's New York Liberty 3-0 in their WNBA semifinal with an 85-83 win in Game 3 on Oct. 9, while Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever have been home since going out in the first round on Oct. 1. Even with the Fever out, Clark is still the one driving this market, since nearly every WNBA card that has sold regularly for more than $500 USD this fall is one of hers.

Whether you're a Fever fan buying your first Clark or a collector chasing her Silver, there's a card on this list at your price. I priced every pick from what it sold for through Oct. 12.1

Updated on Oct. 12, 2026.

Most picks come from Panini's Prizm WNBA set, where every card comes in shinier (and rarer) parallels, which is why Clark's No. 22 rookie shows up on this list as a base card, an Ice and a Silver at wildly different prices.

What the odds mean for these cards

Keep an eye on the Dream to pull out the win and snag a Reese now to catch the upside if it happens. You're looking at a coin flip against the Valkyries.

Budget picks

1. Paige Bueckers, 2025 Prizm Silver rookie, PSA 9

Ten PSA 9 copies sold for $50 USD to $80 USD between Sept. 10 and Oct. 9.

After Bueckers went first overall to Dallas in 2025 and won Rookie of the Year, the Wings made the 2026 playoffs as the No. 7 seed in her second season before losing to Golden State in the first round. At this price, I want the 2025 Rookie of the Year's Silver Prizm in my collection before she becomes a household name.

Check the card back and the slab label before you pay, because some copies listed under this card's name are a different Rookie Variation.

2. Sabrina Ionescu, 2020 Prizm rookie, PSA 10

Eight PSA 10 copies sold for $63 USD to $92.99 USD between Aug. 29 and Oct. 1.

As the No. 8 seed, Ionescu's Liberty pulled off a big upset when they beat the top-seeded Lynx 2-0 to reach the semifinals, before their season ended with the Game 3 loss to Atlanta on Oct. 9.

The 2020 No. 1 pick's rookie from the first Prizm WNBA set belongs in every WNBA collection. With 19 PSA 10 copies sold in the past 90 days, I'd grab one at a fair price whenever a copy surfaces this offseason.

3. Angel Reese, 2024 Prizm rookie, PSA 9

This is the cheapest card on the list and one of the most fun to own right now. PSA 9 copies sold for $9 USD to $20 USD between Sept. 2 and Oct. 8.

Chicago traded Reese to Atlanta for two first-round picks in a move that has paid off for the Dream so far. She scored 23 points in Atlanta's Game 2 overtime win as the Dream reached the WNBA Finals, where they face the Golden State Valkyries starting on Oct. 17. Prediction markets put the Dream's chance of winning the title at 45.5 percent on Polymarket and 48.5 percent on Kalshi. I'd take that coin flip, because a Dream title would put Reese's cards in front of a whole lot of new collectors.

Only nine PSA 9 copies sold in the past 90 days, so you can get in for the price of a pack but you'll need some patience when it comes time to sell.

4. Caitlin Clark, 2024 Prizm rookie No. 22, PSA 9

Clark owns most of this list, so I'm starting her picks with the cheapest way in. Eight PSA 9 copies sold for $37 USD to $56.99 USD from Oct. 9 to 12.

Clark showed what she can do in the first round with 27 points and 15 assists in a Game 2 win over Las Vegas. With the Fever out until the 2027 season, I like picking up a copy during the quiet months before she's back on the court.

Of Clark's two rookies in 2024 Prizm, I'd chase this one first, because it sells nearly twice as often as the other. PSA 10 copies of this card sold for $221.50 USD to $305.99 USD from Oct. 4 to 12, so for a collector who cares more about the card than the grade, a PSA 9 is a lot of Clark for the money. As of Oct. 12, PSA had graded 5,445 copies of this card a 9 and 2,021 a 10, so I'd never get into a bidding war over a 9.

Mid-range picks

5. Caitlin Clark, 2024 Prizm rookie No. 22, PSA 10

For collectors who want Clark's rookie in gem mint without paying up for a parallel, a PSA 10 of her Prizm rookie is the card to own. Nine PSA 10 copies sold for $221.50 USD to $305.99 USD from Oct. 4 to 12. At least 30 PSA 10 copies have sold since mid-September, so a fresh sale to check any asking price against comes along most days.

Clark finished fourth in the 2026 MVP voting announced Oct. 8, behind A'ja Wilson of Las Vegas, Olivia Miles of Minnesota and her own Fever teammate Kelsey Mitchell.

Her next deal is the storyline I'll be watching all winter, because at her end-of-season interview the same day, she didn't commit to signing the early extension of her rookie contract she became eligible for this offseason. Time for Clark to get her bag.

6. Caitlin Clark, 2024 Prizm Ice rookie, PSA 10

Eight PSA 10 copies sold on eBay for $335 USD to $402 USD between Sept. 24 and Oct. 12.

The Ice parallel of her No. 22 rookie is a great middle ground for a Clark collector.

The one catch is that Panini doesn't number Ice cards, so more PSA 10 copies can turn up at any time. Even so, the 10 is the grade I'd stretch for, since as of Oct. 12 PSA had graded 2,648 copies of the Ice a 9 and only 888 a 10.

7. Caitlin Clark, 2024 Instant Rated Rookie Retro, PSA 10

Eight PSA 10 copies sold on eBay for $197.50 USD to $255.99 USD between Aug. 23 and Oct. 11.

Seeing Clark in Panini's old Rated Rookie design, as No. 1 of the Rated Rookie Retro set, gives this card a nostalgia factor that's hard to pass up.

This card sold 15 times in PSA 10 over the past 90 days, so I'd take my time, send a Best Offer under the asking price and give the seller a few days to accept it.

High-end picks

8. Caitlin Clark, 2024 Prizm Silver rookie No. 22, PSA 10

There's no high-end WNBA list without Clark's Prizm Silver. Eight PSA 10 copies sold for $2,635 USD to $3,750 USD between Sept. 16 and Oct. 12.

This Silver is the priciest card on this list and the grail I'd chase as a Clark collector.

I'd be patient and wait for one at the lower end, because copies sold at both ends of that range within the same week in late September.

9. Caitlin Clark, 2024 Prizm Silver rookie No. 145, PSA 10

Eight PSA 10 copies sold for $1,625 USD to $2,250 USD between Aug. 4 and Oct. 11.

Both of Clark's Prizm Silver rookies are the smartest high-end buys on this list if you're in the market to throw down a few bands on Clark cards.

Only nine PSA 10 copies of this Silver sold in the past 90 days, so set up a saved search and expect to hunt a little.

10. Caitlin Clark, 2024 Select Black Color Blast, raw

I saved my favorite card for last. Five raw copies sold between July 15 and Sept. 24. The first sold for $1,425 USD and the latest sold for $2,247 USD.

Black Color Blast is a 10-card insert set in 2024 Select that I think is one of the best-looking chases in the WNBA hobby.

I'd only buy one from clear photos on eBay or Fanatics Collect, or in person at your local hobby shop or card show. Raw cards have the highest upside, but missed cornering or holo scratches would limit your upside if you choose to submit for grading. Which I highly recommend you do!

We'll have a WNBA champion by the time this list comes back next month, with the Finals starting Oct. 17.
