Leaf Trading Cards recently announced the sale of autographed gymnastics leotards by Dunne on their website. Priced at $129, these leotards quickly sold out, featuring a certificate of authenticity to assure fans of the item’s legitimacy.
Dunne has a prominent presence on Leaf’s website, offering various items such as signed photographs and trading cards for purchase. Other LSU gymnasts also have similar items available for fans.
According to On3, Dunne holds the third-highest NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) valuation among current college athletes, trailing only Bronny James and Shedeur Sanders, both of whom have world-famous athlete fathers. As the sole non-football or basketball player in the top 30, Dunne’s valuation of $3.3 million places her among the top 10, alongside Angel Reese as one of the only female athletes.
With a substantial following of nearly eight million on TikTok and over four million on Instagram, Dunne has transcended the realm of college gymnastics and arguably college sports as a whole.
While the appreciation in value of a leotard remains uncertain, it’s worth considering alternative investment options for your money.
