Caitlin Clark<\/a> hasn\u2019t been able to spend much time on the court lately, but her pesky injuries<\/a> didn\u2019t prevent the Indiana Fever superstar from setting a record off the court.<\/p>\n

One of her rookie cards sold Thursday night for $660,000 on the Fanatics Collect auction site.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s by far the most ever paid for a women\u2019s sports card, nearly twice the amount garnered by the previous record holder \u2014 which was also a Clark rookie card.<\/p>\n

The Caitlin Clark 2024 Panini Flawless WNBA Platinum Rookie Logowoman Patch Auto 1\/1 card sold at auction this month for $660,000, which Fanatics Collect says is a record for a women\u2019s sports card.<\/p>\n

The new top seller is officially known as the Caitlin Clark 2024 Panini Flawless WNBA Platinum Rookie Logowoman Patch Auto 1\/1<\/a>. It features a photo of Clark and a game-worn patch from her Fever uniform. <\/p>\n

The card also was autographed by Clark, who signed her name and wrote \u201c769 pts and counting,\u201d a reference to her WNBA rookie record for points scored.<\/p>\n

Clark already was a phenomenon<\/a> when she got to the WNBA last summer, having led Iowa to back-to-back NCAA championship game appearances and setting the all-time Division I scoring record for both men and women with 3,951 points. <\/p>\n

Selected No. 1 overall by the Fever, Clark helped the WNBA<\/a> reach unprecedented levels of success while leading her team to its first playoff appearance since 2016. She set league records for assists in a single game and in a season and was named rookie of the year.<\/p>\n

Hampered by multiple muscle injuries this season, Clark has played in only 13 of the Fever\u2019s 25 games, missing the last three and the WNBA All-Star game with a groin pull. Coach Stephanie White told reporters Thursday night that while no new injuries were discovered when Clark was evaluated this week, there is still no timetable for her return.<\/p>\n

In March, Clark\u2019s autographed 2024 Panini Prizm WNBA Gold Vinyl 1\/1<\/a> was auctioned by Goldin for a then-record $366,000. Before that, the record amount garnered by a women\u2019s sports card was the $266,400 paid three years ago for a signed 2003 Serena Williams card<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Caitlin Clark hasn\u2019t been able to spend much time on the court lately, but her pesky injuries didn\u2019t…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24692,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[20034,49,735,20029,48,3208,20030,1463,3611,20036,6903,20033,20031,82,20032,20035,630,6771,2552],"class_list":["post-24691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-amount","tag-ca","tag-caitlin-clark","tag-caitlin-clark-rookie-card","tag-canada","tag-court","tag-fever-uniform","tag-point","tag-record","tag-scoring-record","tag-season","tag-single-game","tag-sport-card","tag-sports","tag-thursday-night","tag-unprecedented-level","tag-wnba","tag-woman","tag-year"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24691\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
