Sophie Cunningham and the Indiana Fever are already preparing for the 2026 WNBA playoffs. Their postseason starts on Sunday, September 27, with a best-of-three series against the third-seed and defending WNBA champions Las Vegas Aces. If all goes well, the Fever could be adding a second WNBA title in their 27-season history.
Meanwhile, she is leveraging her growing fame (or notoriety) by teaming up with designer Tyson Beck for a set of her official trading cards. As advertised on Beck’s website, the early access for Cunningham’s cards will be on September 29 at 6 p.m. Eastern Time.
While it’s still uncertain how many designs Beck and Cunningham came up with, a post on Beck’s X account showed that Cunningham signed four different designs. One design bore her moniker (The Enforcer), while another is tagged as the “Fire x Ice” design.
The remaining two designs are dubbed “Tunnel Fits,” one in a horizontal orientation and the other vertical.
Cunningham’s popularity grew when videos of her protecting her Fever teammates, including Caitlin Clark, went viral. Hence, she earned that nickname. In addition to that role, being vocal about some controversial issues (e.g., transgender women) brought her more attention.
Can the Beck-Designed Cards Establish a New Record for Sophie Cunningham?
The rarity of these designs can boost the sales of the Beck x Cunningham cards money-wise. However, will it be enough to unseat the most expensive Sophie Cunningham trading card sold?
On record, her most expensive card is a 2025 Panini Prizm Black Finite 1/1, which sold for $9,464 last July. In the same month, a Cunningham 2024 Panini Originals WNBA Logowoman card fetched a $3,240 price tag. A collector also paid $1,995 for her 2025 Panini One and One Kaboom in August.
Having impressive performances during the playoffs, especially on the defensive end, could bump up the bidding war for the Beck-designed cards.
