In this episode of the WNBA Card Podcast, Katelyn sits down with Garrett of WNBACards.com to unpack one of the most important chapters in WNBA collecting history: the Rittenhouse era from 2005–2010
This was the low print run era.
Five thousand boxes became five hundred.
On-card autos were everywhere.
And some of the most important rookie cards in the hobby were born.
We break down:
- Why the 2008 Candace Parker rookie still anchors the era
- How on-card autos from 2005–2007 became cornerstones for collectors
- What Rittenhouse got right — and what they completely missed
- Why culture and marketing matter as much as scarcity
- How today’s collectors can approach this era with intention
Garrett shares how he went from chasing Zion to building a seven-figure WNBA card business and launching a database with 60,000+ cards and 77,000+ sales comps.
If you care about scarcity, print runs, culture shifts, and long-term significance, this episode will reframe how you think about the middle chapter of WNBA collecting.
