DHJ Quick Take: The Collector’s Perspective
- The First Pro Rookie: This Panini Instant release represents the first official professional card for Azzi Fudd in a Dallas Wings capacity. For serious collectors and MFFL fans, getting in on the six-day print-to-order window is essential, as the final print run will determine the card’s long-term scarcity.
- Real-Time Memorabilia: The Panini Instant model thrives on the momentum of the WNBA Draft. By releasing the card within 48 hours of the announcement at The Shed, Panini is capitalizing on the high-energy reunion between Fudd and Paige Bueckers in Arlington.
- Investment Entry Point: At $9.99, the base card serves as an accessible entry point for fans looking to document the franchise’s shift into a “contender” era. With Fudd’s 97th-percentile efficiency and UConn pedigree, this card is a foundational piece for any Dallas basketball collection.
ARLINGTON, Texas — Panini America, the official trading card partner of the WNBA and WNBPA, has released a 2026 WNBA Draft Night Instant card commemorating Azzi Fudd‘s selection as the No. 1 overall pick by the Dallas Wings.
The card — officially listed as the Azzi Fudd 2026 Panini Instant WNBA Draft Night No. 5 Base (SKU: WNBA26DN-PI-0005-B) — is available now through the Panini Instant ordering window, which closes in approximately six days. Each transaction is limited to 5 cards.
Pricing starts at $9.99 for the base card. The standard 2.5-by-3.5-inch trading card ships within 20 to 25 business days after the ordering window expires. Free shipping is available on U.S. orders over $50 for registered users. All sales are final.
The Panini Instant collection is a print-to-order product designed to capture key WNBA moments shortly after they happen — from draft night through the WNBA Finals — giving fans a way to collect the season’s most memorable moments in near real time.
Fudd, who played four seasons at UConn, was selected first overall by Dallas on Monday in the 2026 WNBA Draft. The card can be purchased via the attached link while the ordering window remains open.
