Indiana Fever rookie phenom Caitlin Clark keeps on breaking records not only on the WNBA court.
After Clark broke several WNBA rookie records, including single-season points (769), assists (337), double-doubles (14), single-game records for assists (19) and made 3-pointers (7), her rookie cards have also fetched record-breaking numbers.
Clark’s 2024 Panini Instant WNBA Draft Blue Viper Rookie Auto 1/1 sold for a record $84,000, making it the most expensive WNBA card of all time, according to The Collectibles Guru on X.
The record sale Thursday night broke the old record, which Clark also held.
Her Bowman U Superfractor Auto 1/1 sold for $78,000 this past January as she now owns the two most expensive WNBA cards of all time.
Those twin record sales surpass Clark’s WNBA salary in her rookie season.
After she was drafted No. 1 overall in the WNBA draft, Clark signed a four-year, $338,056 rookie deal that will only pay her $76,535 in her first season.
It’s a drop in the bucket compared to the hundreds of millions their male counterparts in the NBA are getting.
But make no mistake, Clark’s arrival has elevated the WNBA to another level, which they hope would make the league lucrative and in turn, raise the players’ salaries.
Augmenting Clark’s meager WNBA salary is her endorsement deals, which include a $28 million deal with Nike.
