The yearly release of WNBA trading cards is coming in August from Rittenhouse Archives.

This year’s set will be limited to just 500 factory sets of 100 base cards.

The 2014 WNBA Trading Cards will also come with autographs from Chiney Ogwumike (2014 No. 1 pick), Nneka Ogwumike, Stefani Dolson and Bria Hartley. For every three sets purchased, Rittenhouse will include a dual signed card by the Ogwumike sisters.

One set will cost $169.99 and is scheduled to come out August 6.

I love the wnba and all but why do they insist on pricing these cards out of the hands of the people they are trying to attract as fans? This makes absolutely no sense to me.

When they make smaller production of products it usually costs more because the initial cost of getting the printing going eats up more of the money coming back in than with a much larger print run where you can spread the cost out more.
