Caitlin Clark just broke (again) the record for the highest sale of a women’s sports card, with her 2024 Panini Flawless WNBA Platinum Rookie Logoman Patch Auto 1/1 selling for a record-setting $660,000 at Fanatics Collect Premier Auction. The autograph also includes a reference to the points she broke last year as a rookie, where she wrote "769 pts and counting."
Caitlin Clark's true rookie cards are generally considered to be those from the 2024 Panini Prizm and 2024 Panini Select sets, specifically cards that are part of the base sets and not limited inserts or subsets. Key cards include the 2024 Panini Prizm #22 and the 2024 Panini Select WNBA #218 Courtside.
While her rookie autographs have been selling for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, today we wanted to highlight her most overlooked and affordable rookie autographs on the market, starting around the $1,500 mark and climbing higher. The list goes from the lowest to the highest in value: 1. 2024 Panini Prizm Autograph Gold Vinyl Caitlin Clark # RBCC
Even if this insert is not a "true" rookie by strict definition, it remains part of her official rookie year cards with Panini and the WNBA. We wanted to start with this Gold Vinyl for its significance. Before joining the Indiana Fever in the WNBA, Clark was regarded as one of the greatest female collegiate players. She was twice named the national female college basketball player of the year while playing for the Iowa Hawkeyes. This card serves as a reminder of her impressive debut before she became a basketball phenomenon in the WNBA, starting at around $1,300 for non-graded copies and above.
2. 2024 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Sensational Signatures Caitlin Clark RC # SSCCK
Probably the most affordable rookie autograph on the market, with a large number of graded copies that can be found for as low as $1,300 for the base version, with many serials priced around $1,600–$1,800.
3. 2024 Caitlin Clark Panini Prizm Draft Picks RC Signing Day # SD-CAI
Those are a great chase—red Scope /88 cards are available from time to time starting around $1,500. They are definitely one of our favorite picks in that range, as they are among the most affordable serial autographs you can find.
4. 2024 Panini Select WNBA Draft Selections Caitlin Clark RC Rookie AUTO
Caitlin holding the Indiana Fever's jersey, an iconic moment in her career. The Draft Selections Signature starts at over $2,000 for a silver Prizm, and prices can go even higher.
5. 2024 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Autograph Caitlin Clark Rookie #DPACCK
The Draft Picks Autograph starts at around $2,000 for the silver Prizms graded PSA GEM MT 10. There are also some stunning Pulsar and Hyper Prizm parallels, non-graded, in that same price range.
6. 2024 Panini Select WBNA Courtside Action Autograph Caitlin Clark Rookie # CSA-CC
Courtside Action inserts are a very popular classic among collectors, with graded silver Prizms starting at around $2,000.
7. 2024 Panini Select WBNA Autographed Memorabilia Caitlin Clark Rookie # AMCC
This 2024 autographed memorabilia can be found starting at $2,300 for non-graded copies and higher. Unfortunately the patch material is not associated to any players or events, a bit of a shame, but still in a reasonable range for a patch autograph.
------
Finally, there are a few other memorabilia autographed cards, such as the Elite, which we did not include in this list—along with other great inserts like the Flashback autographs. These typically start at $4,500 and above, making them a big stretch for most budgets.
Caitlin Clark has been sidelined since suffering a groin injury on July 15, with no announced timeline for her return. Despite her recent absence, the 23-year-old, who skyrocketed to fame after winning back-to-back NCAA championships and setting the Division I scoring record, was the first overall pick in 2024 and named rookie of the year. Since joining the Fever, she has made history with multiple WNBA records, including assists in a single game and season.
Beyond her high-end 1/1 auction sales, Caitlin’s market is still growing strong, especially for her rookie autographs. These are becoming harder to find and increasingly more expensive to acquire.
