A one-of-a-kind Caitlin Clark WNBA Draft autograph card sold at auction for $84,000 on Thursday night, breaking the record for the most expensive women’s basketball card. The previous record was set in January of this year when an autographed 2022 Bowman University Caitlin Clark Superfractor (a 1/1 parallel) sold for $78,000.
The card in this latest sale is the 1/1 “Blue Viper” variation of Clark’s 2024 Panini Instant WNBA Draft card, which were printed on demand and sold for a limited time following the draft in April. It marked Clark’s first card showing her with an Indiana Fever jersey. On draft night, the Blue Viper card sold for $10,000 in a Dutch auction.
