Welcome to the world of sports card collecting, where history is made with each record-breaking sale. Recently, a one-of-a-kind Caitlin Clark WNBA Draft autograph card fetched an impressive $84,000 at auction, setting a new record for the most expensive women’s basketball card to date. This groundbreaking sale took place on Thursday night, marking a historic moment in sports card collecting.
The card that commanded this staggering price is none other than the 1/1 “Blue Viper” variation of Clark’s 2024 Panini Instant WNBA Draft card. These cards were printed on demand and made available for a limited time following the draft in April. Notably, this card features Clark in her Indiana Fever jersey, making it a must-have for avid collectors.
In a previous sale earlier this year, an autographed 2022 Bowman University Caitlin Clark Superfractor sold for $78,000, setting the precedent for high-value women’s sports cards.
As Clark continues to shine in her rookie season in the WNBA, the demand for her collectibles has soared. From signature basketballs to coveted trading cards, fans and collectors alike are eager to get their hands on memorabilia celebrating Clark’s remarkable career. Stay tuned for the release of the 2024 WNBA trading card sets by Panini, featuring exclusive Clark rookie cards.
