## Resource

The Connecticut Sun are entering their final season. For many fans, that means more than a franchise relocation. It means the end of routines, memories, and connections built over decades. In this episode, Katelyn sits down with Steve (@showley2003), a lifelong basketball fan and dedicated Connecticut Sun collector, to explore what made the Sun unique and why this season carries so much emotion. They discuss: How a trip to a Sun game with his daughter changed his collecting life Why team collecting creates a different kind of connection The role accessibility plays in building WNBA fandom Alyssa Thomas, DeWanna Bonner, Jonquel Jones, and the players who defined the franchise The history of the Connecticut Sun and their tribal ownership How collectors navigate the loss of a team they love What the future of WNBA fandom in New England might look like This conversation is about more than cards. It's about the people, memories, and experiences that make collecting matter.
