The Realest, a collectibles marketplace, closed its second “Playoff Pulse” auction this past weekend, with results pointing to a growing market for women’s sports memorabilia. The sale featured game-worn jerseys from the inaugural season of Unrivaled, the professional 3×3 women’s basketball league launched earlier this year. Collectors showed strong interest, driving competitive bidding across multiple items. Napheesa Collier’s game-used Lunar Owls jersey achieved the highest figure, selling for $2,222. Angel Reese’s Rose jersey followed at $1,605, while Breanna Stewart’s Mist jersey closed at $950.
