To learn about Caitlin Clark’s best card in existence, yet to sell, click here
Caitlin Clark has already taken the basketball world—and the sports card hobby—by storm, with her electrifying performances and historic impact. Her trading cards have seen record-breaking sales, proving that collectors are eager to invest in her legacy. With many of her rookie cards now released, including iconic brands like Panini Prizm, this list only represents the beginning of what promises to be a robust market for Caitlin Clark collectibles. Here’s a look at her top five card sales so far, and what attributes lead to collectors spending so much on these cards.
1. 2024 Panini Select Gold Vinyl Prizm 1/1 Autograph
Price: $234,850 (12/7/24)
The Gold Vinyl Autograph 1/1 from 2024 Panini Select is the most recent of Clark’s rookies to set the benchmark for her trading cards, selling for a jaw-dropping $234,850. This card will undoubtedly go down as a top 10 Clark rookie given its one-of-one rarity, the iconic Gold Vinyl’s finish with its signature swirls, and a bold blue autograph paired with a perfect card grade.
Collectors prize this card for its exclusivity and its role in pushing women’s sports cards into the mainstream hobby conversation. While it’s the most expensive Caitlin Clark card to date, it’s likely we see another card sell of hers sell for more in the coming months.
2. 2024 Panini Select Gold Vinyl Prizm 1/1
Price: $105,330 (2/22/25)
Much like the autograph Gold Vinyl 1/1, the base version from 2024 Panini Select is also held in extremely high regard by collectors. I would’ve personally thought the base version would sell for more than the autograph, but this may be due to timing in the market.
This is, in my opinion, Clark’s best card out of 2024 Select, second only to the Black Finite 1/1 base. Although more coveted cards from 2024 WNBA Prizm will surely surpass this card, it will remain one of Clark’s most coveted 1/1s.
3. 2024 Panini Select Black Finite Prizm 1/1 Autograph
Price: $97,600 (12/28/24)
Sold on December 28, 2024, for $97,600, the Black Finite Prizm Autograph 1/1 is a grail for collectors who appreciate sleek, modern card designs. The PSA 9 grade ensures the card is in near-perfect condition, and the Auto 10 rating reflects a pristine signature from Caitlin herself.
The Black Finite parallels are renowned for their minimalistic elegance and storied history in the basketball sector of the hobby, making this card a true standout. As a one-of-one release from Clark’s rookie WNBA season, it offers a perfect combination of rarity, aesthetics, and cultural significance.
4. 2024 Panini Instant ROTY Blue Viper 1/1 Autograph
Price: $97,212 (10/4/24)
This Blue Viper Autograph 1/1 commemorating Caitlin Clark’s Rookie of the Year honors sold for $97,212 in October 2024. What makes this sale particularly noteworthy is how it was facilitated: through a Dutch auction on Panini’s website. The auction began with a starting bid of $100,000, and the card was ultimately purchased by a collector willing to pay just over $97,000.
The Dutch auction format reflects the increasing demand for ultra-rare cards tied to key career milestones. Collectors were drawn to this card not only for its rarity and design but also for its historical connection to Clark’s record-breaking rookie season.
5. 2024 Panini Select Courtside Gold Vinyl 1/1 #151 PSA10
Price: $91,500 (3/9/25)
The 2024 Panini Select Courtside Gold Vinyl 1/1 #151 PSA 10 represents the pinnacle of modern basketball card collecting, combining extreme rarity with a stunning design. As a Gold Vinyl 1/1, it stands as the only copy in existence, making it an instant grail for collectors seeking the rarest and most prestigious cards. The Courtside tier is the most limited and sought-after level in Select’s hierarchy, further amplifying this card’s desirability. Its PSA 10 grade ensures flawless condition, adding to its long-term investment appeal. Collectors chasing truly unique pieces recognize that 1/1 cards, especially in flagship sets like Select, carry an undeniable prestige.
Looking Ahead
Caitlin Clark’s top card sales so far highlight her immense popularity and the growing recognition of women’s sports in the trading card hobby. However, with the release of other iconic brands on the horizon, the market for Clark collectibles is just getting started. Upcoming releases are sure to introduce new grails, further cementing her place as a hobby icon.
