  • Catchings ranks first in WNBA history in steals and is third in points and rebounds. She also won a national title at Tennessee in 1998.
"I think honestly just what [coach] Pat [Summit] has meant," Catchings said on being the first player in the storied history of the Lady Vols to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. "To be able to follow her lead and follow in her footsteps. One of the main reasons I wanted to go to the University of Tennessee was to play for the best coach and play alongside some amazing players. ... I'm just really thankful and grateful that I got the chance to go to the University of Tennessee and to be the first [Hall of Famer]."

It takes a collector to understand how valuable that card is to you.
I have many NBA cards, Shaq, Kobe rookies, over 200 Michael Jordan cards
One of my cards is a derek jeter foil rookie:

Wow another collector on here. :) That Jeter card is very popular. I collect WNBA, NBA, MLB, and NFL cards. I have over 30 Jordan cards. Scottie Pippen went o college in a town I used to live in.

That MJ is a true collectors find.

Oh and for those who would call me a liar with the Derek Jeter Foil Rookie:

Never got it graded, but looks perfect and no fingerprints or smudges, clean edges, no divots

Those Jeter rookie cards are a very tough grade. It's very difficult to get anything over a 7 from PSA.
I had a bunch, that I thought looked perfect, graded by PSA and a 7 was the best I got.
Still, a 7 is worth a few hundred.

PSA use to make rounds to numerous localities. Under present conditions, I doubt if they're still doing that.
PSA is the most respected of the card evaluators. If you're serious, it's the best organization to have your cards graded by.

Their website has additional info.[/QUOTE]

thanks for that...appreciate it very much

During the 90's I collected subsets threw away tons of cards just to get the one in 32-packs cards
A heavy investment, but back then I was single and making more money than I could spend
I look back now and wish I had invested it in a more stable portfolio, but, the cards was the one thing that didn't come up in my divorce so in turn they were a great investment

I look forward to the day when the Naismith HOF recognizes that Chamique Holdsclaw's talent and career accolades are, at the very least, equal to the 2019 inductee Teresa Weatherspoon. I mean, I love T-Spoon, but she is pretty much most famous for having hit a half-court buzzer-beater for the Liberty in Game 2 of the 1999 WNBA finals. She was a terrific player, but certainly NOT even remotely close to the player that Chamique Holdsclaw was. And it's not even arguable.

If T-Spoon made it, then Chamique MUST be enshrined in the future, else the whole darn hall is a joke.
