Today, eBay debuts “Sue Bird’s Dream Draft”—a lineup of women’s basketball memorabilia curated by the WNBA legend. Spanning icons like Sheryl Swoopes and Lisa Leslie to breakout stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, the event runs from June 10 at 6 a.m. PT through June 17 and invites fans to build their own dream roster.
The collection features rookie cards, signed gear and historic artifacts. Select items start at just 97 cents-–a nod to the WNBA’s inaugural 1997 season. Fans can shop the full curation at ebay.com/DreamDraft.
“The momentum behind women’s basketball right now is real—from record crowds to a whole new generation of stars,” said Sue Bird. “With my ‘Dream Draft’ on eBay, I wanted to recognize the players who’ve paved the way and highlight the ones pushing the game forward. These pieces aren’t just collectibles—they tell the story of where we’ve been and where we’re headed.”
