Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark fueled the WNBA’s record breaking viewership and attendance in 2024 and she’s driving similar growth in the trading card hobby, as well.
In March, Clark’s one-of-a-kind 2024 Panini Prizm WNBA Signature Gold Vinyl card sold for $366,000 at auction, setting a new all-time record for a women’s sports card (a Serena Williams 2003 NetPro rookie patch autograph card that sold in 2022 for $266,400 previously held the record). According to CardLadder, which tracks individual trading card sales across multiple marketplaces, each of the top 37 most valuable WNBA cards of all time are Clark cards even though it’s been less than a year since they first started appearing in WNBA releases.
So what are the best options when it comes to starting a collection of Clark trading cards? Here are our picks.
Top pick (full recommendations below)
2024 Panini Select WNBA #218 Courtside rookie card
This is my best recommendation based on its relatively low print run compared to traditional base rookie cards. The card’s significant demand combined with its affordable price tag in a gem-mint PSA 10 grade (currently about $200) makes it especially appealing to collectors who want a more limited Clark base rookie card.
