Breanna Stewart is officially a Panini America exclusive. The New York Liberty superstar has signed a multi-year autographed trading card agreement with Panini, announced April 7, 2026. Her signed cards will only be found in Panini’s WNBA releases, including the real-time Panini Instant platform that captures big moments as they happen during the season.
Panini has been the WNBA’s card-making home since 2019 and already holds exclusive deals with Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, and recently A’ja Wilson.
Stewart’s resume (three WNBA titles, two MVPs, three Olympic gold medals, and a four-time NCAA champion at UConn) gives collectors exactly the kind of legacy card to chase.
This comes off the back of her recent partnership with Throne Sport Coffee, becoming the brand’s first female athlete partner, and her Reese’s campaign alongside Andraya Carter and Richard Jefferson.
Off the court, Stewart co-founded Unrivaled, the 3-on-3 league where Panini is also the exclusive trading card partner, linking her even more tightly to the brand.
With the 2026 WNBA season and the FIBA Women’s World Cup on the horizon, Stewart’s cards are set to be among the most sought-after in the hobby this year.
Takeaways
This isn’t just a collectibles deal, it’s a signal. Panini is systematically locking in every marquee name in women’s basketball, and Stewart’s history-making career gives her cards a built-in legacy value that newer stars haven’t had time to earn yet.
Combine that with Panini’s Instant platform (real-time cards tied to key moments), and collectors could be chasing Stewart signatures throughout every single game week.
For Stewart, it’s one more avenue to extend her brand beyond the court, and to a market of collectors who are fiercely loyal once they start buying.
Could Stewart’s three championships and global legacy eventually push her card prices to rival or surpass current records held by Clark? Will Panini’s Instant platform (real-time cards) change how fans consume big WNBA moments, turning in-game performances into immediate collectible events?
