Almost every day, Caitlin Clark sets a new women’s basketball record despite being 22 years old. However, this time, the record didn’t come on the court, and she technically didn’t have much to do with it.
According to TMZ Sports, a recent auction premiered a WNBA draft rookie card featuring Clark. It was an autographed 1/1 Blue Viper 2024 Panini Instant WNBA Draft card featuring her posing with an Indiana Fever jersey right after being drafted.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
Caitlin Clark just set a new record for the MOST EXPENSIVE WNBA card of ALL-TIME.

It sold for $84,000 with 79 bids, breaking the record for the most expensive women’s basketball card ever. It would still be the most expensive women’s sports card in history if it weren’t for Serena Williams having three separate cards that sold for over $99,000.
It broke Clarke’s previous record when a Bowman U Superfractor Autographed 1/1 card sold for $78,000 in January.
This record will likely be shattered again very soon, as a pair of Clark and Angel Reese autographed rookie cards in perfect mint condition are being auctioned off. Both are numbered out of 99.
Going head to head for years to come! 🔥

Caitlin Clark Dominated In WNBA Regular Season
The WNBA regular season officially ended on Sept. 19, which means everyone can finally see how great Clark truly was.
By the end, Clark led all rookies in major categories, including points, assists, and steals. She also broke the rookie records for points and assists.
Clark finished within the top five rookies this year for rebounds, blocks, player efficiency rating, field goal percentage, and three-point percentage.
Though Angel Reese also makes a strong case for Rookie of the Year, it will be hard for voters to go anywhere other than Clark. Of course, though, crazier things have happened and it’s no guarantee she wins.

Impressive, right?
Who knows? She might get to try it out during the offseason, but fans are already calling for her to land a broadcasting job.
“@espn make this happen,” one wrote.
“I can imagine this conversation going, “I could be a baseball announcer.” “You think because you are a pro basketball player, you can announce pro baseball?” “Let me demonstrate.” She is too funny!” another comment read.
“I’ve said it before I’ll say it again, I’d watch CC do her taxes,” a user declared.
“Catlin knows baseball!” someone else pointed out.
“This is painfully wholesome 🤣🤣🤣,” a fan added.
