The #102 Chamique Holdsclaw Rookie is the highlight of 1999-ultra-wnba-102-chamique-holdsclaw-rookie-backthe 1999 Ultra WNBA set.  It’s the top rookie card of the set. The rookie cards are appealing and easy-to-identify with a staged photo of the player in front of a team-logo background. The “Rookies” in foil at the bottom of the card clearly delineates this subset as well.  In the 2001 Standard Catalog of Basketball Cards, the card is valued at $30 with the next closest value being a trio of $10 rookie cards. Although typically not selling that high, the card holds its value today with occasional sales occurring around the $7 mark.  There’s record of a PSA 9 selling for $13.15 in September 2016.

An autographed card!

In Short: With very few pre-2000 WNBA sets, it’s not a hard or expensive task to have a representative sample in one’s collection.  This particular rookie card is a worthwhile member of the 1999 Ultra set for any collector.
