Top 25 Cynthia Cooper Cards
25.
2001 Fleer Ultra WNBA Cynthia Cooper
The first card to appear on the list of top Cynthia Cooper cards is the 2001 Fleer Ultra WNBA Cynthia Cooper. This card makes the list as it features Cooper in a different role – that of coach for the Phoenix Mercury. In 2000 Cooper retired from the game as a player to coach the Phoenix Mercury. The move was short lived, however, as she would return to the Comets for the 2003 season. Now the Head Coach at Texas Southern, this is a great card to recognize Cooper’s coaching career.

1998 Pinnacle WNBA Cynthia Cooper Coast 2 Coast
If there ever was an insert that perfectly described the abilities of a WNBA player, the 1998 Pinnacle WNBA Cynthia Cooper Coast 2 Coast is it. A scoring machine, Cooper led the league in scoring four years in a row before her first retirement. This shimmery foil card features Cynthia in mid air dishing the rock, a familiar scene for Houston Comets fans. It might not be investment worthy, but it’s a great piece for any WNBA collector.

23.
2000 SkyBox Hoops WNBA Cynthia Cooper Autographics
The first Cynthia Cooper auto on the list is the 2000 SkyBox Hoops Autographics. One of several autographs from the first four years of her career, this one is a little less popular than the others on the list. This is likely due to collectors preferring the Fleer Ultra set, which comes down to design and the fact that these SkyBox hoops cards were heavily produced during this time period. Even still, it’s a Cooper autograph card and should be on your list to grab when collecting Cynthia Cooper.

2000 Fleer Ultra WNBA Cynthia Cooper Fresh Ink
Speaking of Fleer Ultra, next up is the 2000 Fleer Ultra WNBA Cynthia Cooper Fresh Ink autograph. This base variation features Cooper driving to the hole alongside looping signature. Add in a gold frame border and you have a recipe for an awesome Cooper card. This card is getting hard to find on the open market, as more collectors and investors gobble up the Fresh Ink autos from across the years.

2005 Rittenhouse WNBA Cynthia Cooper Autograph
Cooper was already out of the game in 2005, but Rittenhouse included her in the autograph insert set anyways. After all, who doesn’t want another autograph card from one of the top WNBA players of all time? Showcasing the softer side of Coop with one of their characteristic glamour shots, this is Cooper’s first Rittenhouse card and one of her last licensed cards until recent Panini releases.

1999 Fleer Ultra WNBA Cynthia Cooper Rock Talk
The second insert to land on our list of top Cynthia Cooper cards is the 1999 Fleer Ultra WNBA Cynthia Cooper Rock Talk. Featuring Cynthia in game action alongside a disco prizm design, makes this one of the best looking WNBA insert sets produced. This card (and set) still flies under the radar, but it is only a matter of time before collector and investor interest increases.

19.
2006 Rittenhouse WNBA Cynthia Cooper All Decade Team /333
Up next on our list is the 2006 Rittenhouse WNBA All Decade Team. The first numbered card on the list, this numbered to 333 insert honors Cooper’s place amongst the games top players. Voted on by the fans, this extra special given she played less than half the decade. This is the type of card that any Cynthia Cooper fan or collector should have in their possession.

18.
2000 Fleer Ultra WNBA Cynthia Cooper Trophy Case
Another predecessor of what was to come with modern Optic and Prizm cards, the 2000 Fleer Ultra Cynthia Cooper Trophy Case is a die cut insert that features a prismatic reflective design. A very condition sensitive card, these Trophy Case’s are getting harder to find in mint condition. This is going to lead to eventual price increases as new collectors and more savvy card investors get into WNBA cards.

1997 Pinnacle Inside WNBA Cynthia Cooper “Scoops” #62
The 1997 Pinnacle Inside WNBA Cynthia Cooper #62 is the first of several rookie year cards on the list. The base variant is not considered the official rookie card, so it is less popular than the lead card from the set. Even still, rookie year cards are a must have if you’re building a serious collection. Plus this card has a chance to increase in value as other cards from the set continue to rise in price.

16.
1997 Pinnacle Inside WNBA Cynthia Cooper “Style and Grace”
The next 1997 Pinnacle Inside WNBA Cynthia Cooper card is the Style and Grace variation. Another Cynthia Cooper card included in the base set, the one shows Cooper posed off the court with a ball under her arm. Similar to her Scoops variation, this card is not as popular as the official rookie, but could see an increase in value if her rookie card continues to increase in value.

2000 SkyBox Dominion WNBA The Cooper Collection
If you want to know just how dominant Cooper was in the first four years of her WNBA career, you only have to look at the fact that a card manufacturer dedicated an entire insert set to her. The 2000 SkyBox Dominion WNBA The Cooper Collection is a set of 6 cards that pay homage to the 4x WNBA Champion AND WNBA Finals MVP. While this set is easy to find and not to be confused with other investment type cards on the list, this is a great set of cards to own if you’re collecting Cooper and want to tell the story of her career.

14.
1999 Hoops WNBA Cynthia Cooper Autographics /400
At number 14 is the first numbered Cynthia Cooper autograph card on the list. 1999 Hoops WNBA Autographics is numbered to 400 which isn’t a particularly low number by today’s standards, but in 2001 was probably considered short print given just how much Hoops WNBA was produced. A card this is getting hard to find in mint condition, these Cooper Autographics cards are in high demand and getting pricey. If you’re in the market for one you should move fast on one.

13.
1999 Fleer Ultra WNBA Cynthia Cooper Fresh Ink /400
From Autographics to a Fresh Ink auto for our next entry on the list. The 1998 Fleer Ultra WNBA Cynthia Cooper Fresh Ink is the one of the first autograph cards produced for the USC legend. Over time collectors and investors have come to value the Fleer Ultra sets from this era higher than it’s Hoops sister, giving this Fresh Ink the edge in terms of desirability and value over the other 1999 options. Numbered to 400 you can still find them from time to time, but that might not be the case for long.

12.
1998 Pinnacle WNBA Cynthia Cooper Arena Collection
One of the hardest parallel sets to build, our next card on the list comes from the 1998 Pinnacle WNBA Arena Collection. A short print parallel set of the base, this card features a hyper Prizm refractor style design. Normally second year cards aren’t that hard to find, but even long time collectors have commented on the difficulty of getting these Arena Collection cards. That makes this Cynthia Cooper second year card a fun one to hunt down.

11.
1999 Fleer Ultra WNBA Cynthia Cooper Platinum Medallion /99
At number 11 is the 1999 Fleer Ultra WNBA Cynthia Cooper Platinum Medallion. This hard to find parallel card is numbered to 99 and in reality will feel a lot harder than that to find at a realistic price. That makes this card close to landing in the top 10 Cynthia Cooper cards, especially with more collectors and investors fighting for the low number of sets that exist.

2019 Panini Donruss WNBA Cynthia Cooper Signature Series Gold Laser Press Proof Auto /10
We start the top 10 with our first ultra modern card, the 2019 Panini Donruss WNBA Signature Series Gold Laser Press Proof Auto. This Cynthia Cooper autograph card is numbered to 10, and showcases the Hall of Famer in game action.

9.
2020 Panini Prizm WNBA Cynthia Cooper Signatures Gold Prizm Auto /10
The second ultra modern card on the list was produced this past year. The 2020 Panini Prizm WNBA Signatures Cynthia Cooper Gold Prizm Auto is similar to the Gold Laser in that it is numbered to 10. However this card comes from perhaps the most popular parallel set of all Panini lines – Prizm Gold. With so few copies available and so many collectors clamoring for WNBA Prizm cards this is one auto you shouldn’t think twice about adding to your collection or portfolio.

8.
2000 Fleer Ultra WNBA Cynthia Cooper Platinum Medallion /50
The number 8 card on the top Cynthia Cooper cards list is another Platinum Medallion. This time it’s 2000 Fleer Ultra WNBA Cynthia Cooper Platinum Medallion. Numbered to 50, this is the lowest numbered base parallel for the Hall of Famer. Similar to all WNBA Platinum Medallions, these cards are hard to find thanks to the low print run and them being 20+ years old. If you come across this card and can afford it, don’t hesitate to pick it up – it won’t be around long.

1999 Hoops WNBA Cynthia Cooper Autographics Blue Century Marks /50
Another numbered Cynthia Cooper autograph card that is rising in popularity and price is the 1999 Hoops WNBA Autographics Blue Century Marks. Numbered to 50 this on card autograph is done in blue ink versus black ink for the base Autographics cards. Condition sensitive, finding this card in mint condition will be tough, but even near mint copies still hold their value.

6.
2000 Fleer Ultra WNBA Cynthia Cooper Fresh Ink Gold /50
Edging out the Blue Century Marks on our list is the 2000 Fleer Ultra WNBA Fresh Ink Gold. Also numbered to 50, this Cynthia Cooper autograph is the parallel to the 2000 Fresh Ink we covered above. The only difference is this card is numbered on the front. You really can’t go wrong with either of the two autos, so if you can get them both, you should. But if you can only have one, this is the one we’d go with.

2000 Fleer Ultra WNBA Cynthia Cooper Feel The Game Patch Auto /14
Starting off the top 5 Cynthia Cooper cards is the 2000 Fleer Ultra WNBA Feel The Game Patch Auto. This rare patch auto card is numbered to just 14 and isn’t something you will see for sale too often. Note this is also an un-numbered version of this card, so don’t get confused (especially if the deal is too good). One of a handful of super short print Cooper cards, this one has mega collector and investor written all over it.

1997 Pinnacle Inside Cynthia Cooper My Town!
We move away from super short print cards to Cynthia Cooper’s rookie insert. The 1997 Pinnacle Inside Cynthia Cooper My Town features a silver foil design in landscape with Cooper posed with a basketball. While this card is nowhere near as expensive as the last few cards we’ve covered it’s her rookie insert, and given foil is usually condition sensitive makes this card a must have for any Cynthia Cooper collector.

3.
1997 Pinnacle Inside Cynthia Cooper Rookie Card
At number three is the official Cynthia Cooper rookie card, the 1997 Pinnacle Inside. Featuring Cooper making a chest pass to one of her teammates, this card is considered by many collectors and investors to be the most desirable of all. Given this set has the high PSA POP count of any WNBA set, many collectors and investors have shifted their attention to shorter printed parallels. That should stop you from picking this card up, it’s on our list of top 20 WNBA to own.

2.
1997 Pinnacle Inside Cynthia Cooper Court Collection
The 1997 Pinnacle Inside Court Collection is one of two rookie card parallels. The Court Collection parallel is not believed to be as rare as the Executive Collection, hence it appearing at number two. This card features the same game image as the base, with a foil overlay and Court Collection lettering. This card is quite a bit more expensive than the base, but is still pretty easy to get your hands on for the right price.

1997 Pinnacle Inside Cynthia Cooper Executive Collection
At number 1 on the list of top Cynthia Cooper cards is the 1997 Pinnacle Inside Executive Collection. This card checks all the boxes for collectors and investors. It’s a rookie card.
