The WNBA Card Podcast: The Cards and the Psychology of Collecting

Stacking Slabs

It’s playoff time, and we’re bringing the heat on Season 2, Episode 10 of The WNBA Card Podcast.

Katelyn and Brett dig into the psychology behind collecting WNBA cards—why we buy, what drives us, and how the passion in this niche hobby looks different from other categories.

We cover:

• The perception gap between men’s and women’s sports cards
• The role of representation, nostalgia, discovery, and community in WNBA collecting
• Caitlin Clark’s recent market dip and what it teaches us about hype cycles
• Why veterans like A’ja Wilson, Maya Moore, and Tamika Catchings remain the foundation of the category

This one’s about more than values and comps. It’s about connection, intention, and collecting for yourself.
