eBay Says Interest in Women’s Sports Cards on the Rise
If you sell cards and you’re ignoring the market for female athletes, you might be making a mistake. New data from eBay reveals some sizeable sales numbers for women’s sports cards.
WNBA, women’s soccer and tennis are just three sports where interest has been on the rise over the last couple of years.
eBay says sales of WNBA trading cards are up more than 1,100% in two years while women’s soccer cards are up 172%. Some of that is likely due to greater availability of products but it’s also clear more people are buying cards that feature prominent women.
The biggest increases on eBay’s trading cards platform were for soccer star Alex Morgan. Her card sales grew by 11,350% in two years. Cards of tennis great Serena Williams were up 11,064%.
Sales of several cards have touched the five-figure mark.
