Panini 2025 NIL legendary Contenders Paige Bueckers #50
Paige Bueckers — 2024-25 Panini UConn NIL Legendary Contenders #50 Short Print
Card #50 in the 2024-25 Panini University of Connecticut NIL Basketball set sits inside the Legendary Contenders short-print subset — the hardest base-level pull in the entire product. The base set runs 35 standard College Ticket cards; the Legendary Contenders SP tier adds just 15 names, and Paige Bueckers occupies the anchor slot at #50. That's a deliberate statement from Panini: she is the face of this release.
The card exists under Panini's exclusive, multi-year NIL agreement with Bueckers — the only company authorized to put her on a licensed trading card while she was at UConn. The set itself was historic: Panini's first-ever NIL collegiate box set, blending current Huskies with legends like Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi, Ray Allen and Rebecca Lobo.
- Short print (SP) — lands in a far smaller pool than the standard College Ticket cards in the same product
- Legendary Contenders design — premium Contenders ticket-style branding reserved for the 15-card SP tier
- Full parallel rainbow available: Swirl /199 · Lightning Spokes /99 · Red /50 · Blue /25 · Gold /10 · Green /5 · Black 1/1
- Player context: 2020-21 Naismith & Wooden Award winner, two-time All-American, and the #1 pick of the 2025 WNBA Draft — Bueckers cards across all products are commanding strong secondary-market demand
Bueckers SP pulls from this set consistently sell out across major platforms; the Legendary Contenders label and her exclusive Panini NIL status make raw and graded copies equally desirable. Whether you're building a Bueckers PC, speculating on the WNBA's brightest new star, or chasing a cornerstone UConn collegiate card, #50 Legendary Contenders SP is the key card in this product.
