Caitlin Clark card sells for $366,000, setting new record for a women's sports card
For more than a year now, Clark's rarest cards have achieved progressively higher values, repeatedly setting new records for both her cards and any women's basketball card. The last record high came in December, when Clark's 2024 Panini Select WNBA Gold Vinyl autograph rookie card, also a one-of-one, sold for $234,850. That was still short of the 2003 NetPro Serena Williams autograph patch card (featuring a piece of one of her match-worn tennis outfits in the card) that sold four years ago, though.
But on Saturday, Clark's 2024 Panini Prizm WNBA Gold Vinyl 1/1 autographed rookie card became the new most valuable women's sports card of all-time in convincing fashion.

Why did this specific Clark card sell for so much? Panini's Prizm set is the exclusive WNBA trading card license holder's most popular, so the rarest Clark autograph rookie card in that set was all but certain to become her most valuable one once it was pulled from a pack and put up for sale. The three previous highest selling Clark cards are all from Select, another of the three WNBA sets Panini released for 2024.
Here's an updated list of the five most expensive Clark cards to date:
It's not just Clark's rarest cards that are in demand right now, though. Clark was one of the five most searched athletes on eBay across all sports, women's or men's, in February. And her base rookie cards from the Prizm and Select sets account for all of the top six most transacted basketball cards — again counting both women's and men's — according to Market Movers, which tracks card sales on online marketplaces.
Even with the WNBA deep into its offseason, Clark's card remain some of the hottest in the hobby.

Sophie Cunningham calls ‘bulls–t' on Skip Bayless' Caitlin Clark injury take
Sophie Cunningham seemingly has words for everyone, and Skip Bayless won't be spared. The bombastic hot take artist suggested Cunningham's Fever teammate, Caitlin Clark, may be downplaying the severity of the right groin injury she suffered on July 15, which has kept her sidelined since. 'That's literally bulls–t. No one's lying,' Cunningham, whose season ended early due to a knee injury sustained on Sunday, fired back on her 'Show Me Something' podcast. '… Here's the thing. When you're an elite-level player, you not being able to play is the hardest part, mentally, physically, emotionally. Advertisement 3 Sophie Cunningham fired back at Skip Bayless on her podcast. 'When people say stuff like that, I'm just like 'shut up.'' Cunningham, who has embraced the role of Clark's personal defender — on and now off the court — is no stranger to offering up her own criticisms.

Getty Images Bayless earned her ire for his questioning of Clark's latest injury as the WNBA sophomore has missed 22 of her team's 35 games so far this season in a massive blow. 'I have wondered out loud if maybe Caitlin Clark has taken a couple of 'injury breaks' just because she needed a mental break from all the jealousy, all the resentment, all the on-court and cheap shots she takes,' Bayless said on his titular show.

WNBA Announces New Punishment For Injured Sophie Cunningham
WNBA Announces New Punishment For Injured Sophie Cunningham originally appeared on The Spun. The WNBA announced on Wednesday afternoon, August 20 a new punishment for injured Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. Cunningham, 29, has been ruled out for the rest of the season, the Fever announced on Tuesday. Cunningham suffered a knee injury in the first half of Sunday's overtime win over the Connecticut Sun. She banged knees with Sun guard Bria Hartley and immediately went to the ground in pain. Cunningham, a former University of Missouri star who was traded from Phoenix to Indiana this offseason, missed the remainder of the game. On Tuesday, August 20, the Fever announced that Cunningham would miss the rest of the year. Now, the WNBA is adding salt into Cunningham's wounds, as she has been hit with a new fine. Cunningham announced on her podcast, "Show Me Something" which she co-hosts with "Summer House" star West Wilson, that she has been once again fined by the WNBA for something that she said. The veteran WNBA guard has been fined three times this year, with fines estimated at about $500. Cunningham, a seven-year veteran, is making $100,000 this year. The WNBA fined her for her comments on Paige Bueckers The WNBA chose to fine Cunningham for the comments she made about Paige Bueckers. Cunningham had accused the WNBA referees of favoring Bueckers, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. "I'm officially 3-for-3 on being fined by the WNBA," Cunningham said on this week's episode of her podcast. "They didn't like my comments on Paige Bueckers." Wilson couldn't believe it. Meanwhile, Cunningham thinks that she didn't really do anything wrong. "I didn't even say anything bad," Cunningham added. Cunningham did call out the WNBA's refs, though Cunningham called out the league's refs, suggesting that they "favored" Bueckers during their matchup. "I love Paige to death, don't get me wrong," Cunningham said on a previous edition of her podcast. "I think she's a hell of a player and would love to play with her one day, but those refs were giving her every freaking whistle last night. You literally couldn't touch her, couldn't touch her. That sh*t is so annoying to me. And if you're going to do that, then give it to our guards. I just hate the inconsistency." Cunningham's history of fines This is now the third time that Cunningham has been fined by the WNBA. She was previously fined $500 for a TikTok video making fun of the league's referees. Later on, she was fined $1,500 for criticizing the WNBA referees in a later podcast episode. Cunningham now has racked up more than $2,000 worth of fines during the 2025 season. Cunningham remains optimistic about her future following the injury, though, and she was able to laugh off of her latest fine by the league. "I was just in the wrong spot at the wrong time (and) she fell. There's no way that she would go in there and potentially try to hurt me. I have nothing but love for Bria … and so I hope people stop giving Bria some heat because I don't think she meant to do that at all," she said about her injury. The Fever, meanwhile, are 19-16 on the season, set to face the Minnesota Lynx on Friday, August 22. WNBA Announces New Punishment For Injured Sophie Cunningham first appeared on The Spun on Aug 20, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 20, 2025, where it first appeared.

Caitlin Clark injury update: Fever guard reportedly tweaked ankle during workout
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is working her way back from a right groin injury that has sidelined her for 13 consecutive games, but it was revealed Wednesday she suffered another injury during her recovery. Clark, who last suited up for the Fever on July 15, suffered a mild bone bruise in her left ankle during an individual workout session in Phoenix on Aug. 7, according to The Indianapolis Star, part of the USA TODAY Network. Clark tweaked her ankle the same day the team lost guards Sydney Colson (left ACL tear) and Aari McDonald (broken right foot) to season-ending injuries in the Fever's 95-60 loss to the Mercury. Ten days later, the Fever also lost guard Sophie Cunningham (MCL tear) for the season on Aug. 17, further depleting the team's backcourt. There's no timeline for Clark's return. Fieldhouse Files was the first to report the news of Clark's ankle injury. On Wednesday, head coach Stephanie White confirmed Clark has not returned to practice, which would mark a crucial step in her ramp-up process. "Until (Clark) can get into practice and until you guys see her in practice, we're really status quo," White said. "You never wanna see injuries happen, first and foremost," White added, referring to Cunningham. "You hate it when it's anyone, let alone the third season-ending injury that we've seen this year. But like I told our team ... yes, we've been dealt a crappy hand, but we have to play it." Clark, who previously missed time with a left quad and a left groin injury, has been sidelined 22 of the Fever's 35 games this season. Indiana is 8-5 with Clark in the lineup and 11-11 without her on the floor. The 2024 Rookie of the Year is averaging 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and a career-high 8.8 assists in 13 games this season. Her assists average is the second-highest in the league, behind Phoenix's Alyssa Thomas (9.0). Caitlin Clark injury timeline The USA TODAY app gets you to the heart of the news — fast.
