WNBA: Caitlin Clark tops list for women’s basketball trading cards

The WNBA season might be over for Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever, but that doesn’t mean that her impact on women’s basketball lessens.

According to the data collected by PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator), her cards were graded 18x more than the next women’s basketball players in 2024: a true representation of Clark’s popularity among the fans. Interestingly, spots number two and three are covered by NCAA players, while spots four and five are occupied by Clark’s fellow WNBA rookies. This is just another indication that we are on the brink (no pun intended) of something special when it comes to the popularity of women’s sports.
