My COMC box arrived and here's part of the haul. All are non Mystics cards of future Mystics players. The first three are stickers and could someday be repurposed to make customs.
Jacki Gemelos played in 18 games for the Mystics in 2010, and earned the nickname of "The Mayor" of the WNBA bubble during the time of COVID, when all games were played in a Florida location to avoid exposure and spread. She played with Chicago in 2015 and had a successful European career in...
Tamara James was drafted the Mystics in 2006 (first round, 8th overall) and played two seasons with the team before moving on to a nine-year career overseas. After retiring, she served as the elected Mayor of Dania Beach, FL. She signed this custom card sent with a donation to her charitable...

Two pickups from a fellow collector on FB. Both players are already in my auto collection, but couldn't pass up these nice cards. I am now at 61 different players on Mystics cards.
Two inexpensive sticker autos of players who were in Mystics training camp in 2024 (although neither made the team). The plans is to make custom cards using the Rookies app and transfer the stickers.
Finally found one of these at the right price. It makes all the difference when Topps takes the time to use photos that are contemporaneous to the card design and vice versa.
