May 29, 2026

Paige Bueckers’ jersey from her WNBA debut has sold for a record-breaking $64,720, setting a new milestone for women’s sports memorabilia. The Dallas Wings star wore the jersey during her first WNBA game on May 16, 2025, and it was later sold through MeiGray, an authentication and photo-matching company that partners with the team.

This sale more than doubled the previous record for a game-worn WNBA jersey, which was $32,150. That earlier record was held by A’ja Wilson, whose Finals jersey from Games 1 and 2 of the 2025 WNBA Finals sold in November. Bueckers’ debut jersey is now believed to be the most expensive photo-matched item ever sold in women’s sports.

The record sale highlights the immense hype surrounding Bueckers, who was named the 2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year. Her debut was one of the most anticipated moments in league history, and the jersey’s final price reflects the massive fan demand and market value she has generated both on and off the court. espn
