Gap Between Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese is Turning Heads
Caitlin Clark's popularity reached new heights after she entered the WNBA draft. The Indiana Fever star is one of the most famous athletes in the world, and the difference with her peers is crystal clear. Clark has broken individual records after helping the Fever break viewership and attendance records in 2024. Her collectible cards have become a coveted item among fans, and the numbers show she is in a league of her own. Advertisement At the end of March, the former No. 1 overall pick broke a Serena Williams record, whose "2003 NetPro International Series Apparel Autograph Serena Williams #2A" sold for $266,400 in May 2022. Clark broke the record for the most valuable women's trading card with her "2024 Panini Prizm WNBA Signatures Gold Vinyl Signed Rookie Card," a unique card that sold for $366,000. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Krzaczynski-Imagn Images This also broke her previous record of $234,850 for a "Panini Select WNBA gold vinyl card," another unique item. Now, another input shows how far ahead she has gone from her peers in terms of popularity. On Thursday, Complex's Instagram account shared a graphic showing the five NBA players with the most Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) cards sold. Advertisement Clark leads the way with 105K cards, followed by Chicago Sky star Angel Reese (7.2K), Paige Bueckers (6.4K), Cameron Brink (5.3K), and Sabrina Ionescu (1.1K). View the original article to see embedded media. Fans took the chance to go after Reese and those who said Clark wasn't the only reason why more people were paying attention to the league. "1) 105k 2) 7.2k 'they didn't just come to see cailtin play, they came for me too'," one fan said. "Da gap is genuinely crazy tho," a second fan said. "Ain't nobody collecting no angel Reese card LOL," a third fan said. "Holy smokes Caitlyn really is the league all to herself," a fourth fan said. Advertisement "So u saying that every other players cards don't even add up to Clark's? That's insane," a fifth fan added. "This is no longer an argument," a sixth fan wrote. While the WNBA has experienced steady growth in recent years, the addition of Clark has certainly helped them reach new levels in terms of popularity. Other players, such as Reese, Brink, and Bueckers, have brought more eyes to the league, but the difference with the former Iowa Hawkeyes star is clear.

Lewis Hamilton x Topps: A look at his most iconic cards and memorabilia
Big news this week - Lewis Hamilton just signed a major exclusive trading card and memorabilia deal with Topps. Hamilton's been an icon in Formula 1 since he came onto the scene in 2007 with McLaren, winning his first World Championship just a year later in 2008. He's since gone on to win seven world titles, tying Michael Schumacher for the most in history. In 2025, Hamilton made headlines again with a high-profile move from Mercedes to Ferrari after 11 dominant seasons. The goal? Help bring Ferrari back to championship form—and if anyone can do it, it's him. Off the track, Hamilton's been making serious waves in the collectibles space. So it's no surprise Topps came knocking. His cards and memorabilia have been in demand since he first stepped into an F1 car, and interest has only grown with time. On Mantel, collectors have been chasing Hamilton for a while - one user recently landed his coveted Dynasty F1 Auto . To mark this moment, here are some standout Lewis Hamilton items you should know about: Advertisement 2006 Futera Grand Prix "Next" #95 Lewis Hamilton Rookie Card Considered Hamilton's true rookie card, this was released in the 2006 Futera Grand Prix Racing set—a year before his F1 debut. It's incredibly rare, with only 31 PSA submissions and zero PSA 10s on record A PSA 9 sold for $312,000 at Goldin Auctions in 2022 , proving just how coveted this card is. 2020 Topps Chrome F1 Superfractor #1 Lewis Hamilton Topps Chrome's debut F1 set was a game-changer - and Hamilton was the prize. He had 17 different cards in the base set (most out of any driver), but the huge chase was his limited printed cards in the set. Not for the faint of wallet, his 1/1 Superfractor sold for a staggering $900,000 at Goldin in 2022 , making it one of the biggest F1 card sales ever. Advertisement 2009 Sports Illustrated for Kids Lewis Hamilton #360 Much more within reach for cost conscious collectors, this SI for Kids card still holds weight.

Lewis Hamilton Game-Worn F1 Suit from First Career Win This is the suit Hamilton wore during his first-ever F1 win in Montreal with McLaren - huge F1 moment. That race set off his rise as a global star and an icon in the sport. The suit hit Sotheby's in 2023 and sold for $241,300 . With his profile still climbing, don't be surprised if it's worth even more down the line. Advertisement Lewis Hamilton Formula 1 Cars Cards are cool—but how about an actual car? For ultra high-end collectors, Hamilton's race-used F1 cars are among the ultimate trophies. In 2021, his 2010 McLaren-Mercedes MP4-25, which he drove to victory in Turkey, sold at Sotheby's for a wild £4.73 million GBP ($6.3M US) and was his first F1 car offered to the public. And yes, roughly 140,000 people tuned in to watch the auction go down. Prices for Hamilton's F1 cars are only climbing. In 2023, another one of his race-used cars - the 2013 Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 W04 - was auctioned off by Sotheby's in Las Vegas for $18.8 million - insane. Whether you're chasing a $25 SI for Kids card or a seven-figure race car, Lewis Hamilton remains one of the most collectible athletes in modern sports history—and his new Topps deal only adds fuel to the fire. Do you collect Lewis Hamilton or F1? We'd love to see it on Mantel.

BUFFALO, NEW YORK - MARCH 27: Sidney Crosby #87 of the Pittsburgh Penguins celebrates his goal against the Buffalo Sabres during the first period of an NHL game on March 27, 2025 at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York. (Photo by Ben Ludeman/NHLI via Getty Images) (Ben Ludeman via Getty Images) While everyone has been focusing on the Great 8's quest to break Wayne Gretzky's goal record this season, Sidney Crosby has quietly broken one of The Great One's records himself. On Thursday night, Crosby clinched his 20th point-per-game season, giving him the most point-per-game seasons in NHL history. Talk about consistency! Another Milestone for Crosby Crosby's legacy continues to grow: he has three Stanley Cups and two league MVPs, recently led Canada to its first 4 Nations Cup victory, and now he's surpassed one of Gretzky's records. It's no surprise that his collectibles have always been in high demand. Just last month, his game-worn 4 Nations jersey sold for $30,000. When it comes to his sports cards , his RCs have been a prized chase since he entered the league. Here are a few of his most prized: Advertisement 2005–06 The Cup Sidney Crosby RC #180 - Released in 2005–06 as Upper Deck's inaugural high-end set, The Cup Hockey coincided perfectly with Crosby's rookie year. This card is one of his rarest, regularly fetching at least five figures at auctions. One is currently listed on Goldin (ending March 29th), and in 2022, one variation sold for $91,800 . Check it out on eBay-> 2005–06 Sidney Crosby Rookie Card #201 Young Guns - One of his most recognizable rookie cards, the Young Guns series is widely regarded as one of hockey's most popular non-autographed sets. In the past 30 days, PSA 10 copies have sold for between $2,780 and $2,880 - still expensive, but considerably more attainable than The Cup RC. Check it out on eBay-> 2005–06 Ice Sidney Crosby Rookie Card #106 - Only 99 were made, and it's arguably one of his highest-quality cards. This Ice Premiere release boasts a signature clear, modern look, printed on acetate. Demand and pricing for this card are sky-high due to its low print run, with a raw copy selling for nearly $12,000 back in September of last year - not cheap! Advertisement Check it out on eBay-> 2005–06 Trilogy Sidney Crosby Rookie Card #211 - Featuring a numbered run (/999) from the Upper Deck Trilogy series, this card offers a mix of eye appeal and rarity.

There isn't much left for Crosby to prove - he's done it all, from Stanley Cups to Olympic gold medals. Crosby is currently climbing the NHL's all-time scoring list, sitting in ninth place and on track to surpass Mario Lemieux for eighth next season. Given how well he continues to perform , it's not far-fetched to imagine he'll finish among the league's top five point scorers by the end of his career.
