An autographed Caitlin Clark rookie card has sold for $84,000 at auction.
Record-Breaking Sale:
This sale set a new record for the most expensive women’s sports card. The Panini Instant one-of-one card shows Clark holding her Indiana Fever jersey right after being picked as the No. 1 overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft. It’s special because it’s the first card to show her in that jersey.
A Surprising Twist:
Here’s a shocking fact: The $84,000 price tag is more than what Clark will earn this season with the Fever on her rookie contract. According to Spotrac, her salary is only $76,535.
Clark’s Impressive Rookie Season:
Clark’s debut year in the WNBA has been outstanding. She broke the league record for most assists in a season and helped lead the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016. She also averaged 19.2 points per game.
Fans think she’s been amazing this year!
After starting slow, she dominated in the second half of the season. The Fever ended with a strong 19-12 run after beginning with just one win in their first ten games.
Playoff Hopes:
The Fever will start their playoff journey against the Connecticut Sun on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET.
