Caitlin Clark Shatters Records with $366,000 Women’s Sports Card Sale
Caitlin Clark is making waves both on and off the court, and she just added another monumental achievement to her growing list of accomplishments. The WNBA sensation, currently in her sophomore year with the Indiana Fever, has secured a place in history with the most expensive sale ever for a women’s sports card.
This past weekend, a unique and highly coveted card from Clark’s 2024 Panini Prizm WNBA collection was sold for an eye-popping $366,000 USD at a Goldin auction. The card, a one-of-one gold vinyl autographed edition, comes with an impeccable PSA 10 grade and a perfect 10 autograph rating. It not only stands as one of the rarest pieces of women’s sports memorabilia, but it also broke the previous record set by tennis legend Serena Williams. Williams’ card, which sold for $266,400 USD in 2022, was previously the highest price for a women’s sports card—until Clark’s stunning achievement.
This card’s rarity is truly unmatched, and its record-breaking sale highlights the growing demand for women’s sports memorabilia. Clark’s historic card, authenticated and graded by the Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), is now among the most sought-after items in the sports collectibles world. It’s a testament to her rising star power and the increasing recognition of female athletes in the sports market.
For comparison, in the same auction, a LeBron James rookie patch autograph card from the 2003 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection fetched a staggering $1.16 million USD. While Clark’s card didn’t quite reach those heights, the sale undoubtedly signifies her immense popularity and the shifting landscape in sports memorabilia. In her rookie season, Caitlin Clark has already etched her name in history, proving that women’s sports—and the athletes who dominate them—are gaining the recognition they deserve.
Clark’s record-setting sale is more than just a number; it’s a milestone for women’s sports, reflecting the growing market for female athletes and the lasting legacy they are building. As her career continues to soar, there’s no telling just how high the value of her memorabilia could climb. Keep an eye on Caitlin Clark—her impact is only just beginning.
