Paige Bueckers jersey sells for $64,720, WNBA record

A jersey worn by Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers in her WNBA debut last season has sold for $64,720, setting a new record for the most expensive game-worn jersey in league history. The sale, conducted by the authentication company MeiGray, more than doubled the previous benchmark of $32,150, which was set by a jersey worn by Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson during the 2025 WNBA Finals.

Bueckers, the 2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year, expressed astonishment at the price. She said the figure was "insane" to her and joked that she wouldn't pay $10 for her own jersey. The 24-year-old guard emphasized that the sale reflects a broader, positive trend for women's sports.

"It's crazy, that much money is insane to me," Bueckers said. "I'm just very grateful and feeling very blessed and fortunate that people are that invested in women's sports. You can see just the rise in popularity, the growth in respect."

She reflected on her childhood, noting that watching her hometown Minnesota Lynx often required attending games in person, unlike the increased national television coverage today. "Just to be a part of the rise right now, we're just extremely grateful for it," Bueckers added.
