Mia Hamm

APRIL 22, 2021

Women's soccer doesn't get mention much in the hobby. So we'll start going over some of Mia Hamm's timeline. One of the best women's soccer players the US has ever had played the game. She rose to international stardom at the age of 15 becoming the youngest player to be featured for the USWNT. Hamm would end up playing for 17 years going on to play to win two World Cups in 1991 and 1999 (winning the very first Women's World Cup in 1991), two Olympic golds in 1996 and 2004 (the first time women soccer was in the Olympics), and most importantly paved the way for women soccer players that we see today.

Hamm's earliest card would be her 1992 Sports Illustrated card, she was also featured in the 1994 Upper Deck World Cup set. 1996 when she won the Olympic's you can find her Sports Illustrated and Upper Deck Olympicard cards. 1999 you have her in the Roox set when she won her second World Cup. The first auto for Hamm cards (if there's earlier let us know) would be the 2005 Upper Deck Hawaii Conference which is out of 10. Then the latest card is in the 2019-20 Obsidian set.
