A Caitlin Clark trading card sold at auction for $234,850 on Saturday night — more than doubling the previous all-time record for a Clark or WNBA card of $97,212.54 set in October. The latest record was achieved by Clark’s one-of-a-kind 2024 Panini Select WNBA Gold Vinyl signed rookie card and was sold by Goldin.
The latest sale is also the second most expensive women’s sports card of all time behind a 2003 NetPro Serena Williams autographed patch card (featuring a piece of one of her match-worn tennis outfits in the card), which sold in 2022 for $266,400.

The massive jump from the previous record for a Clark card to this shows how interest in the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year’s collectibles still continues to grow, even during the league’s offseason. And with WNBA trading card rights holder Panini’s flagship product, 2024 WNBA Prizm, still yet to be released, it seems likely that another record could be achieved once the 1/1 autographed card from that product is pulled.
