BucCollector's Washington Mystics Autographs

[BucCollector]

At the close of the 2024 season, 175 players had appeared in a game for the Washington Mystics. Of these, only 19 (to date) have had certified autos on a Mystics card, leaving more than 150 TTM / IP autos to chase, with more to come in future seasons. I started this project about a month ago and will update this thread chronologically.

I'm excited to have a new project to work on, since my Pittsburgh Pirates 1970-1979 autograph collection, started in 2015, is down to 10 or so needs, all of which are difficult.

Although pure TTM collectors may find it boring, I'm starting with the handful of certified autos that are out there, because that's where my collection started and to get them out of the way.

Rittenhouse produced WNBA cards from 2005 to 2018 and their releases included auto inserts and boxtoppers. In 2005, we had Alana Beard, who was a four-time All Star and twice Defensive POY.

From 2006, Temeka Johnson. The boxtopper is numbered 21 of 150.

The 2006 release also included Delisha Milton-Jones. The dupe is up for trade.

Chasity Melvin and Nakia Sanford had good careers with the Mystics. These are from 2007.

For 2008, Rittenhouse started including draft picks in the set. Here's Crystal Langhorne, who was a two-time All Star with the Mystics.

Marissa Coleman made the 2009 All-Rookie team and was an All-Star later in her career with Indiana.

Jacinta Monroe and Ashley Houts were the team's top picks in 2010. Neither had a long career in a league that was contracting at the time.

And likewise for Victoria Dunlap and Ta'Shia Phillips, the 2011 picks. Both had short careers.
