The 2025 WNBA rookie class has a tough act to follow after the 2024 WNBA season delivered record viewership on the backs of its newcomers. This remarkable season was highlighted by the most-watched WNBA regular season on ESPN platforms, a single-game attendance record, the highest total attendance in 22 years, and all-time records for digital consumption and merchandise sales. The hobby took special notice of last year's No. 1 overall pick, immortalizing Caitlin Clark and her 2024 Panini Prizm Signature Gold Vinyl as the most expensive women’s sports card ever. With a mix of collegiate superstars and international talents, the new wave of rookies is already making waves, both on the court and in the trading card market.
