Collect call: 2021 WNBA Prizm basketball

For collectors who enjoy the shiny stuff, Prizm is a go-to product. This is the second year Panini America has put out a Prizm product for the WNBA, and the second version looks to be just as impressive as the first one.

Of course, you are paying more for Prizm, even at the retail level. I bought a blaster box of the 2021 WNBA Prizm set at my local Walmart for $34.98. The price was only topped by my amazement that there were even blaster boxes at Walmart — they have been scarce there and mostly nonexistent at Target (occasionally one will slip through at Target).
​
Heck, Walmart even had complete sets of 2021 Topps baseball available, so I grabbed one quickly.

Back to Prizm. The 2021 WNBA product has five packs and four cards in a blaster box. Panini is promising five inserts or parallels in each blaster, and they were slightly off with just three inserts and one parallel.
​
The base set contains 100 cards. I pulled 16 base cards, which included rookie cards of Shyla Neal, Aaliyah Wilson and Kysre Gonrezick. There was also a green parallel of Katie Lou Samuelson. Two of my favorite names for WNBA players — Epiphany Prince and Diamond DeShields — were among the 15 base cards I found.

There were no signature or relic cards in the blaster box, but I was not expecting any. The best insert was a Fireworks green pulsar card of Candace Parker, numbered to 25.

There was also a Far Out insert of Sabrina Ionescu, one of 10 in the set.
​
Emergent is also a 10-card insert, and my blaster had a green parallel of Jewell Loyd.

So, nothing to write home about, but the design is attractive and the cards are shiny. If you are like me and starving to open a box of something, well, this fits the bill nicely.
