Rare NWSL cards draw big prices as Scurry, Nighswonger and Reale gems hit collectors' market

Collectors circle NWSL gems as women's soccer card market shows its strength

The NWSL trading card market is throwing up some serious headline lots, with a handful of standout listings currently turning heads among collectors — spanning USWNT royalty, rising defenders and a goalkeeper now plying her trade in Europe.

Topping the board is a 2000 Upper Deck UD Women's Major League Soccer card of Briana Scurry, the USWNT goalkeeping icon and National Soccer Hall of Famer. Graded PSA 10 and numbered #88 as part of her rookie card run, the piece is listed at $274.99, offering collectors a mint-condition slice of the sport's history from the early days of professional women's soccer in America.

Fresh off a breakout 2023 rookie campaign that helped NY/NJ Gotham FC lift the NWSL Championship, Jenna Nighswonger is represented by a striking 2023 Parkside NWSL Pronto Week 6 GOLD Rookie #35, a 1/1 parallel of the U.S. international full-back. That one-of-one runs $214.99.

Rookie defenders are clearly in demand. Lilly Reale, who earned NWSL Rookie of the Year honours with Gotham in 2025, appears on a 2025 Parkside Keepr card featuring an AUTO AWARD signed parallel, numbered 1/12. The card is listed at $224.99.

Finally, collectors with an eye on the netminders can chase a 2022 Parkside NWSL Challenge Cup autograph of Phallon Tullis-Joyce, signed during her Ol Reign days and numbered /100. The rare auto is priced at $299.99. Tullis-Joyce, who has since moved on to Lyon, remains one of the most decorated goalkeepers of her NWSL generation.

The flurry of listings points to a maturing market for women's soccer collectibles, where graded rookie cards, one-of-one parallels and scarce autographs are commanding premium prices as the fanbase and hobby continue to grow hand in hand.
