Top 28 Sheryl Swoopes Cards

28.

1994 Upper Deck USA Sheryl Swoopes Gold Medal

Starting off the list of top Sherly Swoopes cards is the oldest card on the list, the 1994 Upper Deck USA Sheryl Swoopes Gold Medal. This lower print Gold Medal parallel features a young Swoopes in her Team USA jersey. As a part of the Women’s Olympic Basketball team Swoopes would win a total of three gold medals in a 12 year span. Since this is an unlicensed Olympic card it doesn’t have a lot of value, but it is a cool way to remember Swoopes accomplishments as an Olympian.

2000 Fleer Ultra WNBA Sheryl Swoopes Girls Rock

The first insert to appear on the list is the 2000 Fleer Ultra WNBA Sheryl Swoopes Girls Rock insert card. This card is an awesome WNBA insert for many reasons. The die cut. The shimmer. The fact that Girls Rock has two meanings? Priceless. While I think the concept is priceless, this insert set is pretty under appreciated. As a result this card can be easily acquired if you’re looking to add it to your collection.

2000 Fleer Ultra WNBA Sheryl Swoopes Trophy Case

The next card on our list is another die cut insert, the 2000 Fleer Ultra WNBA Sheryl Swoopes Trophy Case. Honoring Swoopes nod to the All WNBA First team, the card shows Swoopes shooting a jumper in front of a holographic background. A highly condition sensitive card that is tough to find in mint condition, this insert card personifies the cool inserts the late 90’s and early 2000’s are known for. While this card isn’t currently expensive, as more collectors and investors get into the unique sets like this it has a chance to rise substantially.

2006 Rittenhouse WNBA Sheryl Swoopes All Decade Team /333

After nine seasons of elite level play, it’s no wonder Swoopes found herself on the all decade team in 2006. The Rittenhouse WNBA Sheryl Swoopes All Decade Team is a numbered to 333 insert that recognizes one of the decades top players. Similar to the next card on our list, this card is not exactly something a collector or investor would rattle off on this list of Swoopes cards they’re chasing. This card is more for the collector who appreciates the accomplishment of their favorite star.

2002 Fleer Authentix WNBA Sheryl Swoopes Memorabilia Authentix Ripped

From Autographics to Authentix we go for our next entry on the list, the 2002 Fleer Authentix WNBA Sheryl Swoopes Memorabilia Authentix Ripped. One of two Memorabilia Authentix, this variation features a distinctive perforated bottom edge, alongside a piece of authentic jersey, and an image of Swoopes. A super condition sensitive card, this card is not as desirable as the Unripped variation, so for many collectors this is just a cool Swoopes insert to add to their collection without breaking the bank.

2006 Rittenhouse WNBA Sheryl Swoopes WNBA All Star Game MVP Auto

At number 24 on our list is the 2006 Rittenhouse WNBA Sheryl Swoopes WNBA All Star Game MVP Auto. This on card auto features Swoopes posed for the camera in her Houston Comets jersey, holding what seems to be the MVP trophy (if I had to guess). Part of a huge auto inserts, this is one of the more popular Swoopes cards from the Rittenhouse years and thus it is getting harder to find. If one does come up for sale you shouldn’t wait long to buy it.

Another numbered Rittenhouse insert card to make the list is the 2007 Rittenhouse WNBA Sheryl Swoopes 2006 All WNBA Team. An ode to Swoopes 7th appearance on the All WNBA team, 2006 would be the last season she’d get the distinction. This card isn’t particularly popular with collectors and isn’t something for investors, but it is a great card for that Sheryl Swoopes collector that wants the cards that help tell the story of her career.

By the mid-2000’s Swoopes had established herself as one of the games most dominant players. The 2006 Rittenhouse WNBA Sheryl Swoopes Case Topper is a factory sealed card that came as part of a three case incentive collectors and dealers.

The top Platinum Medallion parallel on the list is the 2004 Fleer Ultra WNBA Sheryl Swoopes Platinum Medallion.

1998 Pinnacle WNBA Sheryl Swoopes Arena Collection

The next card on the list is the rarest second year card for the Texas Tech legend, the 1998 Pinnacle WNBA Sheryl Swoopes Arena Collection. This card gets its desirability and value due to it being a short print parallel. The card features the same artwork as the base 1998 offering, but with the addition of shimmery prismatic design similar to today’s Hyper Prizms and Arena Court lettering. Still a somewhat overlooked card as it is not her rookie, you might still have time to get in on one for an affordable price if you can find it for sale.

2000 Fleer Ultra WNBA Sheryl Swoopes Fresh Ink Gold /50

We go from Sue’s first year to her 18th year for our next card, the 2020 Panini Prizm WNBA Sue Bird Black Gold Prizm. Numbered to just five, this card (and the next) is a bit on the edge in terms of being realistic for most collectors and investors.

2020 Panini Prizm WNBA Signature Series Sheryl Swoopes Gold Prizm Auto /10
