Caitlin Clark has shattered another record, this time off the court as a signed rookie card of the WNBA star sold for an unprecedented $660,000, the highest ever for a women's sports card.
A rare, signed rookie card of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) star Caitlin Clark has sold for a record-breaking $660,000, setting a new high for women’s sports memorabilia.
The one-of-a-kind 2024 'Rookie Royalty' card was auctioned by Fanatics Collect and features Clark’s signature, a photo of her mid-game with a visible shin injury, and a uniform patch from a game with the Indiana Fever.
Bidding opened at $336,000 before soaring to nearly double that amount during the extended final rounds.
The card also includes a hand-written inscription: "769 pts and counting", marking Clark’s record-breaking rookie scoring total.
The 23-year-old, widely regarded as a generational talent, has become a headline name in women’s basketball.
Her previous card sale record was $366,000 in March, also through Fanatics.
Since entering the WNBA as the top pick in the 2024 draft, Clark has drawn huge crowds, broken assist records, and continued the buzz that began during her National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) career with the Iowa Hawkeyes, where she became the all-time leading scorer in Division I basketball history, both men’s and women’s.
Despite her current absence from the court due to a groin injury sustained on July 15, her market and influence remain strong. In total, 14 Clark cards have now sold at public auctions for prices far exceeding her rookie salary, estimated at $80,000.
