Panini Unveils Paige Bueckers Instant Cards

Panini has unveiled a new series of Instant Cards featuring UConn standout Paige Bueckers following her exceptional performance in the Big East Tournament championship game. In that contest, Bueckers played a key role in guiding the Huskies to a 70-50 win over Creighton and made history as the first player to earn tournament MVP honors three times. The Panini Instant collection commemorates these milestones in real time and will be available for a limited time, with card prices starting at $9.99 and varying based on the specific variation.

Bueckers helped lead the Huskies to a 31-3 record and a Big East Tournament title, securing their position as a No. 2 seed heading into this year’s NCAA Tournament. She finished the season averaging 19 points, 4.9 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game while being named Big East Player of the Year. Before potentially becoming the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming WNBA draft, Bueckers is focused on one more NCAA Tournament run with Geno Auriemma’s team, which will kick off with a first-round matchup against No. 15 Arkansas State on Saturday.
