Serena Williams Preview RC
About the Asset
This is a Serena Williams rookie card from the 2003 NetPro card set.
The NetPro series comprised several subsets, and this is the Glossy International Preview set. There were only 500 of this card produced, and very few of them survived to be sent off to PSA for grading. Of the 37 with PSA, 23 are PSA 10s.
This card has just about doubled over the last few months.

About the athlete
Serena Williams is one of the top two or three tennis players of all time (including men) and has been name the greatest female tennis player in the open era. Her 23 grand slams are second only Margaret Court (hello nominative determinism), who had 24. She has a further 19 grand slam titles from doubles and mixed competitions.
She’s consistently the highest earning female athlete in the world with $29m in 2016 and $27m in 2017.
She’s struggled a bit since returning from maternity leave in 2018 and hasn’t won a Grand Slam since then. She may be in the twilight of her career, but I wouldn’t be against her picking up a few more titles before she retires.
Recent sales history and Valuation
Inferred value between $15k and $35k.
Serena Williams Elite RC
About the asset
