From June 1997 to June 2026, this drop is about the whole timeline of the league all  at once.

The past, in the form of the very first games in WNBA history on June 21, 1997. Cynthia Cooper and Lisa Leslie both took the court that day, two of the biggest figures the league has ever produced, and Supernova now contains their first-ever rookie Moments straight from that opening slate. 

The present, in the form of the players who are defining this era and carrying the WNBA into its 30th season, spread across an absolutely loaded Metallic Gold LE checklist and four new Throne Room grails. 

And the future, arriving through Rookie Ultimate: full-game 1-of-1s from two of this season's breakout rookies, plus an autographed 1-of-1 from the No. 3 overall pick Awa Fam.

Metallic Gold LE drops July 9. This is the flagship Rare set, and the star power on this checklist is as deep as any drop this season. One MGLE from every team, 15 in total. A'ja Wilson. Caitlin Clark. Paige Bueckers. Breanna Stewart. Angel Reese. Kelsey Plum. The players carrying the league into a new era, captured in the set built just that.

The Ultimate Tier

Throne Room

Throne Room is the pinnacle of individual dominance. The definitive stamp on a night where the game bent around what one player did. Every Moment is a 1-of-1 Ultimate grail. Four more names join the checklist, and each one is a performance that will be talked about for years.

Jessica Shepard made WNBA history with the first ever 20-20-10 triple-double in league history, coming in a Dallas comeback win over the defending champs. 

Marina Mabrey matched the WNBA's all-time single-game scoring record on June 25, dropping 53 points on her former team to help Toronto to a 125-97 win. Her Throne Room 1-of-1 compiles several of the signature shots from that night, and collectors may already recognize one of them: a single play from the game was released earlier this season in Top Shot This.

Paige Bueckers turned a fourth-quarter deficit into one of the most complete closing sequences of her young career on June 22. Down six with 1:24 left against Seattle, she scored the Wings' final eight points of regulation to force OT, including the basket that pushed her past 1,000 career points.

Sonia Citron is only in her second season, and she's already forcing her way into an elite tier. Named an All-Star as a rookie, Citron is delivering in winning time again and again. Against Toronto, Citron released a fadeaway with 0.6 seconds on the clock, falling through just after the buzzer to beat Toronto 86-85. 

Supernova

Supernova always captures icon’s first career games, but this drop takes it to another level. These two Supernova Ultimates come from the WNBA’s first ever games, the first Rookie Moments for a pair of WNBA legends that became immediate household names.

Cynthia Cooper was the WNBA's first superstar before the league had a face for one. She led the WNBA in scoring in her rookie season, was named the league's first-ever MVP, and won Finals MVP in each of her first four seasons, all four of them championships. Four straight titles with the Houston Comets. Two MVPs. A player who came to the league in her mid-30s after a decade dominating overseas and simply refused to lose. 

Lisa Leslie spent twelve seasons as the face of the Los Angeles Sparks and the first true crossover star the WNBA ever had. Three-time MVP, two-time champion, the first player to ever dunk in a WNBA game. She retired holding the league's all-time records in points and rebounds. Every superstar era in this league traces back through her. Her WNBA debut now gets the Supernova treatment it deserves.

Skyline

Skyline is the definitive 1-of-1 team Moment: city colors, franchise identity, one signature win immortalized per team. Three more join the checklist, and we'll let the artwork do the talking.

  • Atlanta Dream
  • Connecticut Sun
  • Golden State Valkyries

Rookie Ultimate

Three more WNBA debut 1-of-1s  join the checklist this drop!

Pauline Astier The 24-year-old French point guard signed with New York as an undrafted free agent, but she’s played like a top pick, ranking among the rookie class leaders in minutes, assists, steals, blocks, and rebounds. 

Sydney Taylor also went undrafted, signed with Chicago, and simply worked her way into the rotation. She's since put together some of her rookie class's best individual scoring nights, with a trio of 25+ point games and counting.

Awa Fam was the No. 3 overall pick, and her WNBA debut had to wait while she was helping Valencia Basket to a Liga Femenina championship in her home country of Spain before boarding a flight to Seattle with zero break in between. Her debut came a week later, and she looked like she'd been in the league all along. This Moment is autographed, a full-game reel of a debut that was worth the wait.

The Legendary Tier

Ascension

Ascension captures a player's first-ever Legendary Moment as they step into a bigger role than they've ever had. Five veterans earn theirs this drop, and each one is a story about a career leveling up in real time.

Bridget Carleton became the Portland Fire's very first pick when the expansion franchise selected her first overall in the 2026 Expansion Draft. After seven seasons as a key piece in Connecticut and Minnesota, she's now one of Portland's leading scorers.

Jordin Canada is putting up the best all-around numbers of her career for the Atlanta Dream, and her passing has been the story. She posted a career-high 14 assists in a win over Phoenix, then followed it up with four  more double-digit assist nights already. A two-time champion finding a new gear as Atlanta's floor general.

Marine Johannès became Liberty's secret weapon in Sabrina Ionescu's early season absence. Nicknamed "the Wizard" for her flair, she drained a career-high seven threes against Phoenix, joining Caitlin Clark as the only players in the league to hit that mark this season, while surpassing 1,000 career points in the same game.

Natisha Hiedeman signed with Seattle this offseason and immediately delivered some of the best basketball of her career. She's posting career highs across the board, tied her career high with 24 points against Washington, and surpassed 2,000 career points this June. Eight seasons in, and she's never played better.

Shakira Austin is also putting together the best season of her career for Washington, posting career bests in points, rebounds, and assists while emerging as the veteran anchor of the youngest roster in the league. The 2025 Comeback Player of the Year is now coming back for more.

Run It Back: Origins

Ariel Atkins entered the league as a Washington rookie and became the only player in WNBA history to earn All-Defensive honors in each of her first five seasons. She helped Washington to the 2019 championship and has since added an Olympic gold medal.

Chelsea Gray, the "Point Gawd," is the only active player with four WNBA championships. Her rookie season with Connecticut was the first chapter of a career that's produced a Finals MVP, an Olympic gold medal, and a place in the conversation for the greatest point guard the league has ever seen.

Courtney Williams debuted as a Connecticut rookie and has spent every season since proving she's one of the toughest, most versatile guards in the league, built on elite mid-range scoring and a rebounding motor that belies her size.

Kayla McBride entered the league with the San Antonio Stars and has climbed all the way to fifth on the WNBA's all-time three-pointers list, passing Tina Thompson this June. A four-time All-Star still adding to her legacy fourteen seasons later.

Kelsey Plum was the first overall pick by the San Antonio Stars in 2017, the franchise that would relocate and become the Las Vegas Aces. Since then: back-to-back championships, an All-Star Game MVP, and one of the most explosive scoring nights of this entire season.

The Rare Tier

Metallic Gold LE

Metallic Gold LE is the flagship Rare, one Moment for every team in the league, and this checklist is stacked from top to bottom. 

These are the first-ever Jukebox /10 and Hexwave /25 Rare parallels these players have received, and the Moments behind them back up the star power.

Caitlin Clark · Paige Bueckers · A'ja Wilson · Breanna Stewart · Angel Reese · Marina Mabrey · Sonia Citron · Kahleah Copper · Brittney Griner · Carla Leite · Dominique Malonga · Gabby Williams · Kelsey Plum · Natasha Howard · Kamilla Cardoso

Brittney Griner's MGLE captures the block that made her the WNBA's all-time leader in career blocks. On June 22, she passed Margo Dydek's 877-block record with a rejection of Kamilla Cardoso, closing the book on a record that had stood since 2008.

Kahleah Copper and Kelsey Plum each earn an MGLE from the same unforgettable night: June 13, when the two combined for the first-ever game in WNBA history with two different players scoring 40-plus points. Copper dropped a career-high 41. Plum answered with a career-high 43, including a rare 40-point, 5-assist, 5-three-pointer game, just the sixth in league history, to lead the Sparks past the Mercury in overtime.

Level Up

Level Up captures a player's first-ever Rare Moment as they step into a bigger role. Ten players earn theirs this drop:

Anastasiia Kosu · Awak Kuier · Emily Engstler · Han Xu · Kiah Stokes · Mackenzie Holmes · Maya Caldwell · Megan Gustafson · Michaela Onyenwere · Zia Cooke

Rookie Debut

Sixteen new Rookie Debuts join the checklist, every one a first career basket. 

Sydney Taylor · Frieda Buhner · Antonia Delaere · Isobel Borlase · Teja Oblak · Alex Fowler · Alex Wilson · Alicia Florez · Aubrey Griffin · Chance Gray · Emese Hof · Grace VanSlooten · Holly Winterburn · Jordan Harrison · Rori Harmon · Sha Carter
