The rookie card of Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has sold for an estimated $84,000 at auction, breaking the previous record for the most expensive women's basketball card.
In April, the Indiana Fever had the top overall pick in the WNBA Draft for a second consecutive year. The franchise elected to use the highly coveted pick on Caitlin Clark , which added the consensus top prospect to its roster. While WNBA Draft rookie card s have typically been manufactured every year, Clark's card has commanded an unusually high price. The card sold at an auction for an estimated $84,000.
The one-of-a-kind card also features Clark's autograph. Clark's card surpassed the record for the priciest women’s basketball card on record, which was set earlier this year when someone handed over $78,000 for an autographed 2022 Bowman University Caitlin Clark Superfractor. Clark's highly sought WNBA draft rookie card shows Clark standing on a stage and posing for a photo as she holds her Fever jersey moments after her name was called at the draft. The 'Blue Viper' variation of Clark's Panini Instant branded card is the first time she was featured on a card with a Fever jersey. It becomes the second-highest selling card in women's sports history.
Clark finished the regular season averaging 19.2 points, 8.4 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game. Her assist average was the highest in the league in 2024. Alyssa Thomas of the Connecticut Sun averaged 7.9 assists per game, which ranked second in the WNBA this season. Clark and the Fever recently clinched a playoff berth. Indiana's first-round series against the Sun starts Sunday. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
