Clark Card Breaks Women's Sports Price Record

Caitlin Clark’s 2024 Panini Flawless WNBA Logowoman 1/1 rookie card sold at auction for $660,000, setting a new record for a women’s sports card and surpassing Clark’s previous $366,000 record as well as earlier marks held by Serena Williams. The unique card features Clark’s autograph, a league logo patch, and an inscription of her 769-point rookie season. The sale highlights Clark’s immense impact on the women’s sports collectibles market and her growing popularity, even as she has missed several games this season due to a groin injury. Clark’s rookie year included earning WNBA Rookie of the Year honors and breaking league records for both points and assists. The soaring value of her cards reflects increased recognition and market demand for female athletes in sports memorabilia. The sale price also reignites discussion about the disparity between players' commercial appeal and their WNBA salaries.
