Paige Bueckers’ professional debut jersey sold for $64,720, a price that set a new record for the most expensive piece of WNBA memorabilia ever sold. The jersey was worn on May 16, 2025, when Bueckers made her first appearance for the Dallas Wings.
The sale passed the previous mark held by A'ja Wilson, whose jersey from the 2025 WNBA Finals brought $32,150. The appetite for Bueckers’ debut jersey was fueled in part by its immediate authentication and photo-matching before the auction, a process that gave collectors confidence they were bidding on the exact piece she wore in her first pro game.
That demand has followed Bueckers beyond the auction block. As the 2025 first overall pick, she averaged 19.2 points and 5.4 assists in her rookie season, even as Dallas stumbled to a league-worst 10-win record. Her individual value kept climbing while the team around her struggled, and the contrast has only sharpened the market’s interest in her name.
The Wings have looked more competitive in 2026, opening 5-3 through eight games while Bueckers has averaged 19 points and 3 assists. Dallas also used this year's first overall pick on her former UConn teammate Azzi Fudd, a move that ties the franchise’s future even more tightly to the player whose debut jersey just reset the WNBA collectibles market. MeiGray handled the sale and authentication, and the record now gives Bueckers another kind of milestone to carry into the season ahead.
