Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark continues to shatter records.
Clark’s 2024 Panini Prizm WNBA Signatures Gold Vinyl 1/1 rookie card — graded gem mint PSA 10 — sold for an unprecedented $366,000 at Goldin. This marks the highest price ever paid for a women’s sports card, easily surpassing Serena Williams’ 2003 NetPro rookie patch autograph that fetched $266,400 in May 2022.

This represents Clark’s third card to reach six figures at auction. Her 2024 Panini Select WNBA Signatures Gold Vinyl 1/1 rookie — also graded PSA 10 — went for $234,850 at Goldin in December 2024. Earlier this year, her 2024 Panini Select WNBA Gold Vinyl Prizm 1/1 rookie — graded PSA 10 — brought in $105,326 at Goldin in February 2025.
While Clark’s card commanded this astronomical sum, she couldn’t afford to purchase it under her current WNBA compensation. Her four-year rookie contract with the Fever pays her just $338,057 — nearly $30,000 less than what her most valuable card just sold for at auction.
This stands in stark contrast to another No. 1 overall pick — San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama — whose four-year rookie contract is worth $55 million.
Clark manages well financially as a transcendent figure in basketball through endorsement deals, including a $28 million agreement with Nike, but the disparity highlights the significant pay inequity facing professional female athletes.
