2019 Panini Donruss WNBA Sue Bird Optic Holo
We start or list with a bit of a sleeper Sue Bird card. The 219 Panini Donruss WNBA Sue Bird Optic Holo is growing in popularity thanks to the popularity of Optic Holo’s across all sports. It’s also a great way to go when collecting ultra modern WNBA cards. These holo’s are a lot more scarce then base 2019 WNBA cards.

Similar to the Optic Holo, Silver Prizms are popular with collectors and investors across sports.

2017 Rittenhouse WNBA Sue Bird Seattle Storm Auto
The next 2017 Rittenhouse WNBA Sue Bird auto on the list is the Seattle Storm variation. This on card auto shows Sue in game action for the Storm, the only WNBA team she’s ever played for. Maybe that’s why she added “Go Storm” to her signature. While there were quite a few Bird cards produced over her career, there aren’t as many autos as you think. This a great card to own if you are a Sue Bird collector or Seattle Storm fan.

2017 Rittenhouse WNBA Sue Bird WNBA Auto
The 2017 Rittenhouse WNBA Sue Bird WNBA Auto is the final auto from the set on our list. Featuring a serious looking Bird off the court posed with the ball in her Seattle Storm jersey, this on card auto also includes a nod to her team, but this time it’s with more emphasis, “Go Storm!” This card, like the two others before it, came factory sealed from Rittenhouse, and will likely remain in high demand as the star plays out the rest of her career in the Pacific Northwest.

2006 Rittenhouse WNBA Sue Bird 2005 All-WNBA First Team Autograph
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. That said, with the popularity of the Prizm line and it still being new, there is time to get in on this card. If you can afford it and find it, you should pick it up.

2008 Rittenhouse WNBA Sue Bird 2008 Women’s National Team /333
Moving away from Sue Bird autos, our next card on the top Sue Bird cards list is the 2008 Rittenhouse WNBA Sue Bird 2008 Women’s National Team /333. A four time Olympic gold medal winner, Bird and her teammates are poised to bring home a mind blowing fifth straight gold medal at the 2021 Olympics. Numbered to 333, this is one off the radar card that should be in every Sue Bird collector’s shoebox.

2018 Rittenhouse WNBA Sue Bird Platinum Edition /25
We go from numbered to 333 to numbered to just 25 for our next card on the list, the 2018 Rittenhouse WNBA Sue Bird Platinum Edition. One of only three Platinum edition sets produced across the history of WNBA cards, this is one of a handful of truly low print Sue Bird cards. While 16th year cards aren’t normally hot commodities, the popularity of this set due to the A’ja Wilson rookie card has made this Sue Bird a desirable card with collectors and investors.

2005 Rittenhouse WNBA Sue Bird Seattle Storm Autograph
The 2005 Rittenhouse WNBA Sue Bird Seattle Storm Autograph is the first of three autographs from Rittenhouse’s first year producing WNBA cards.

Another example of Rittenhouse showcasing a softer side of the players off the court, this variation continues to fly under the radar of many collectors and WNBA card investors.

22.
2003 Fleer Ultra Sue Bird Gold Medallion
Second year gold medallion parallels usually show up lower on top WNBA card lists, but this one doesn’t crack the top 20. Featuring a die cut design and Gold shimmer, it’s not known how many Gold medallions were printed in 2003, but it’s a safe bet it’s less than the base set. It’s that reason alone that this is a card you have in your possession, before her rookie cards get out of reach of average investors…this one might be next.

2006 Rittenhouse WNBA Sue Bird All Decade Team /333
How about only playing through 40% of a decade, yet being named to the WNBA All Decade Team. That’s exactly where Sue Bird found herself, and for good reason. Between 2002 and 2006, she found her way onto the All WNBA First Team three times, with one WNBA championship. Next up for Sue Bird? The Hall of Fame.

2006 Rittenhouse WNBA Sue Bird Seattle Storm Autograph
The last of the three autos from the 2006 Rittenhouse WNBA sneaks into the top 20. The Seattle Storm variation features Sue in a white evening gown sitting in a chair – quite a change from the normal posed portraits or game action autos one is used to seeing. Given the stark contrast the image provides, it’s made our list of the most iconic WNBA cards ever made.

1998 First Union UConn Women’s Basketball Sue Bird
The first ever card produced for Sue Bird, next up is the 1998 First Union UConn Women’s Basketball Sue Bird. This card features a baby Sue Bird in game action for a UConn team she would win two National Championships with. Tough to find in good condition, this card continues to creep up in value over time despite it being a college rookie and not a pro rookie card.

2004 Fleer Ultra WNBA Sue Bird Platinum Edition /25
Earlier on the list we mentioned there are only three platinum edition WNBA sets produced throughout the years, and our next card is from one of them. The 2004 Fleer Ultra Sue Bird Platinum Edition is a numbered to 25 parallel from a highly coveted and very desirable 2004 set, thanks to Bird’s former teammate Diana Taurasi’s rookie card. That you won’t see this card come up often, and when it does, it won’t be cheap.

2019 Panini Donruss WNBA Sue Bird Gold Laser Press Proof /10
From a modern lowered numbered parallel to an ultra modern one, our next card on the list is one of several low numbered parallels to appear on the list. The 2019 Panini Donruss WNBA Sue Bird Gold Laser Proof is numbered to 10 parallel to the base Donruss WNBA card. Featuring Bird in game action and Gold refracting design with the Press Proof badging, this is one of the newer cards collectors and investors should have their eyes on.

2019 Panini Donruss WNBA Sue Bird Signature Series Gold Laser Auto /10
The sister card to our last entry on the list is our next entry on the list. The 2019 Panini Donruss WNBA Sue Bird Signature Series Gold Laser Auto is also numbered to 10, but features a different game action image of Bird and her iconic ink. While this card is a sticker auto, when you factor in it’s limited to just 10 copies, this is the type of card that will remain popular for the long term.

14.
2019 Panini Donruss WNBA Sue Bird Optic Gold /10
Continuing with the Donruss Gold theme, the 2019 Panini Donruss WNBA Sue Bird Optic Gold. A numbered to 10 parallel of the Donruss Optic set this card beats it’s peer for two reasons. The Optic set is generally held in higher regard as the print runs are usually lower. These are also tough to grade, so finding a GEM Mint 10 can be tricky. For these two reasons this card is in high demand with WNBA card collectors and investors alike. If you can only afford one of the three 2019 Donruss Gold cards, this is the one to own.

2020 Panini Prizm WNBA Sue Bird Gold Prizm /10

12.
2020 Panini Prizm WNBA Sue Bird Signature Series Gold Prizm Auto /10
Similar to the previous card, the 2020 Panini Prizm WNBA Sue Bird Signature Series Gold Prizm Auto is a card that is sure to continue to rise in value over time. Featuring Bird in a different pose from her base card alongside her signature. This numbered to 10 Gold parallel is a sticker auto, which has its detractors, but given how popular autograph cards are for Bird, it’s earned its place in the top 15.

2004 Fleer Ultra Sue Bird All Star Review Patch /100
The second Sue Bird patch card to land on our list, the 2004 Fleer Ultra Sue Bird All Star Review Patch is a numbered to 100 card celebrating her dominant performance. Part of a popular insert set, this card features an actual game used piece of jersey. Similar to other patch cards, there is more than one patch color for you to hunt down for your collection or portfolio. With more than 100 Sue Bird collectors, this rather limited print card goes fast when available for sale.

2003 Fleer Ultra Sue Bird All Star Review Patch /100
Entering the top 10 Sue Bird cards, we start with another patch card, this time from 2003. The 2003 Fleer Ultra Sue Bird All Star Review Patch similarly numbered to 10, giving it all the same characteristics as the previous card on the list. This one gains a slight edge due to age; it’s a second year card versus a third year.

9.
2002 Fleer Authentix Sue Bird Memorabilia Authentix Ripped
The number nine card on the list comes Bird’s rookie year. The 2002 Fleer Authentix Sue Bird Memorabilia Authentix Ripped is one of two different patch cards from the set. The Ripped variation features a perforated lower edge. There are also multiple patch options, from single color to multiple. This card remains relatively undervalued compared to the base card from the set, even though the patch comes from a game used jersey. Maybe that’s your opportunity.

8.
2003 Fleer Ultra Sue Bird Nameplate /50
Perhaps the coolest Sue Bird card is next up on the list. The 2003 Fleer Ultra Sue Bird Nameplate is one of the most unique and popular insert sets. Featuring a license plate design and numbered to just 50, this card is not one that you will see every day. It is a second year insert, but given the popularity of the set and the low print run it’s the type of Sue Bird card that collectors and investors will be chasing after for years to come.

7.
2002 Fleer Authentix Sue Bird Memorabilia Authentix Unripped /50
At number seven is the other patch card variation from 2002, the Fleer Authentix Sue Bird Memorabilia Authentix Unripped. This variation is more desirable than the ripped variation since it is limited to 50 copies. Similar to the unripped variant, there are also multiple patch options, from single color to multiple. This card does not come for sale often, so if you really want one get ready to be decisive.

2020 Panini Prizm WNBA Sue Bird Black Gold Prizm /5
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. That said, with the popularity of the Prizm line and it still being new, there is time to get in on this card. If you can afford it and find it, you should pick it up.

2004 Fleer Ultra WNBA Sue Bird Seasons Crowns Letters /4
At number five are the most unique and rarest cards on the list. The 2004 2004 Fleer Ultra Sue Bird Seasons Crowns Letters are a set of 4 cards that spell out “B-I-R-D.” These cards are super rare and very hard to find. There’s been years where no Seasons Crowns Letters have been sold in public. That said, these are the type of holy grail cards that deserve their place on the list…whether we’ll ever be able to own them or not.

2002 Fleer Ultra WNBA Sue Bird Rookie Card
The first of four rookie cards to end our list, the 2002 Fleer Ultra Sue Bird Rookie Card is the next card on our list. This card was a redemption only rookie, meaning that you won’t be able to rip wax to get one. However many there out there, that’s it. While this is perceived to be more than the Authentix, no one can really say for certain. That’s why this card often trades places with the card we will talk about next in terms of which one is more popular. It’s also a tough grade thanks to frame chipping and foil overprint.

3.
2002 Fleer Authentix WNBA Sue Bird Rookie Card /2002
At number three is the most popular Sue Bird Rookie Card is the 2002 Fleer Authentix. Given the pervasive concerns about over printing in the early 2000’s, this card edges out the ultra version as it’s numbered to 2002. Featuring a unique front design that includes Sue Bird in game action, this card made our list of the top WNBA cards to own.

2.
2002 Fleer Ultra WNBA Sue Bird Gold Medallion Rookie Card
The 2002 Fleer Ultra Sue Bird Gold Medallion Rookie Card is next on our list. This card lands in the number two spot as it’s a low print parallel to the base offering. Featuring the same image as the base with a Gold shimmer overlay, this is not the kind of card that comes up for sale very often. That’s because this card was also redemption only, which means there are far less of these in circulation than the base.

1.
2002 Fleer Authentix WNBA Sue Bird Front Row /100
And at number one on the list of top Sue Bird cards is the 2002 Fleer Authentix Sue Bird Front Row. Similar to the base, this Sue Bird card gets its spot thanks to the numbers stamped on the front. Limited to just 100, the Front Row parallel also features red foil lettering that sets this card apart from the base. Similar to the Ultra Gold Medallion, this card does not come up for sale very often, so if you want one you’re going to have to hunt down a willing private collector. Given that Sue Bird is an icon in the sport and considered the GOAT by many, that’s an effort that is well worth it.
