Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers saw her debut jersey fetch a staggering $64,720 at MeiGray’s marketplace on May 16, 2025. The photo‑matched shirt was authenticated on the bench right after the game, turning a routine piece of apparel into the most expensive WNBA jersey ever sold. The Wings hope the buzz boosts attendance as they chase a playoff spot.

The new benchmark eclipses the prior high of $32,150, set by A’ja Wilson’s 2025 Finals jersey, and sits far below Billie Jean King’s 1973 “Battle of the Sexes” racket sale of $125,000 in 2017. MeiGray, which partners with the Wings, Las Vegas Aces and Golden State Valkyries, also authenticated recent high‑end sales of Sabrina Ionescu’s jerseys, each surpassing $20,000, signaling sustained interest across leagues.

President Barry Meisel noted the price doubled within six months, calling the market a “rocket ship” for women’s sports. He added that authenticated memorabilia is no longer speculative but a robust, expanding segment. Collectors now view women's memorabilia as core portfolio pieces. The record sale solidifies game‑worn women’s items as a lucrative asset class for collectors and investors alike.
