I wouldn't be surprised if $486K looks small in a few years.

Diana Taurasi is accumulating stats like few in any sport ever have. Last week she became the first WNBA player to score more than 10,000 points in a career. The next highest total is under 7500. That is Ruth/Gretzky type numbers. She is also very accessible to fans. It wasn�t long ago that virtually all WNBA players were fan friendly. This has changed over the last season or two, perhaps COVID-related. Stars like Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu will no longer sign autographs. A�ja Wilson is also a very reluctant signer.

41 and scoring 18 per game, how great is that?

I agree with Paul's now-deleted take on Taurasi: nope. Just because she is the Don Bradman of womens' basketball doesn't mean anyone cares or collects. Heck, I can't even get traction on Jack Dempsey or Joe Louis cards, and I'd bet that boxing is more popular than the WNBA.

Bradman, of course, is the Babe Ruth of cricket, and many of his prewar cards can sell for as much as tens of dollars each.

Look up what a PSA 9 Taurasi already goes for before you make analogies to cricket. Or Breanna.

Don't I know it.

I don't collect modern cards at all, but I think its unlikely there is a sport out there that people are not paying any attention to that will one day show massive price jumps. A few years ago, I think Formula 1 had a moment where a bunch of rarer stuff really skyrocketed in price. Tennis cards seem to have a very limited (and capped?) market. Cricket doesn't seem to have much collector appeal. Auto racing beyond F1? No. Lacrosse? no. Pickleball? god I hope not.

The only sport I can see making big gains is Footy, but even the popularity of that sport has only slowly increased in the US over the last 20 years. It seems to be gaining more steam, but the interesting thing about that timing is 2 of the greatest players to ever play the sport are just about at the end of their careers, and its tough to see what the next generation is going to look like.

Haaland. Mbappe. Footy is in good hands with these dudes methinks.
