Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers are fueling a WNBA trading card boom, with record grading ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Why it matters: The WNBA stars are making their mark on the collectible industry.

What they're saying: "Clark's impact, alongside Angel Reese and incoming rookie Paige Bueckers, signals a major shift: There's now a burgeoning collectibles market for both college and professional women's basketball," PSA president Ryan Hoge told Axios.

By the numbers: Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) saw a 62% increase in graded WNBA cards in the last year, signaling growth and anticipation for the season that begins this month.

More than 75% of all trading cards graded in the U.S. are handled by PSA.

Zoom in: Clark leads all WNBA players with over 105,000 PSA-graded cards since the start of the 2024 WNBA season.

Together with Reese and Bueckers, the trio accounts for almost 90% of all WNBA cards graded.

Caitlin Clark (Indiana Fever): 105k cards graded
Angel Reese (Chicago Sky): 7.2k
