Caitlin Clark Prizm WNBA Gold Vinyl 1/1 card up for auction at Alt
Clark's 2024 Panini Prizm WNBA Gold Vinyl 1/1 is headed to auction at Alt. (Credit: Getty, Alt) One of Caitlin Clark's top rookie cards hits the auction block at Alt on Friday morning, and the company believes it could set an all-time record when bidding concludes. The 2024 Panini Prizm WNBA Gold Vinyl 1/1 PSA 9 has never sold at public auction and was one of the biggest chase cards from Panini's flagship WNBA release. Advertisement The current record for any Clark card at public auction is $366,000, set in March, which is also the record for a card of any female athlete. The current record-holder is Clark's 2024 Panini Prizm WNBA Signatures Gold Vinyl 1/1 PSA 10/10. Unlike the card coming to auction at Alt, that card has an autograph from Clark. In fact, Clark's top three card sales all have autographs, with the top sale for a non-autographed card the $105,326 paid for her 2024 Panini Select WNBA Gold Vinyl 1/1 PSA 10 in February. The most expensive card sold through Alt is a 2003 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection LeBron James RPA, which cleared $560,000 in August 2024.

Darius Garland rookie Logoman sells for record $44k
Darius Garland's 2019-20 Panini Flawless Rookie Logoman 1/1 sold Thursday night at Goldin Auctions for $43,920, nearly tripling the previous record for any Garland card at public auction. Prior to Thursday, the record for Garland was the $15,000 paid in 2022. The 25-year-old point guard averaged nearly 21 points and 7 assists this season as he helped lead the Cavaliers to the best record in the Eastern Conference. Despite his major role on one of the top teams in the league this season, Garland's card market has largely failed to impress at the high end, with nearly all of his top sales coming in 2023 or earlier. Garland's next highest sale other than the record-breaking Logoman from the past year came in February at $3,840.

Dodgers offer fans chance to buy World Series rings for $50k
The fan ring does have a few differences from the players' version, including the World Series trophy replacing the MLB logo. (Credit: Jostens) Los Angeles Dodgers fans looking to commemorate the team's 2024 World Series title can now order personalized championship rings similar to those given to the players ... but it's going to cost $50,000. Advertisement While it is common for teams to sell commemorative championship rings modeled after player examples to fans, rarely have we seen such a flashy option available for purchase. The Dodgers are allowing season-ticket holders the chance to order rings that share many similarities with the player's given out earlier this year, including 343 diamonds, 17 custom-cut sapphires and a total carat weight of 13.25. Designed by Jostens, the same company that made the official rings, the fan examples have some key differences. On the player ring, the jersey number appears underneath the last name on one side of the ring, along with the MLB logo. The fan ring instead shows the World Series trophy. The inside of the ring also features a copy of the player's signature, which is not present on the fan ring. Advertisement However, one of the most interesting details of the ring does appear in the fan copy: a game-used piece of base from the World Series embedded in the top of the ring. Generally, the most expensive copies offered to fans are in the $10,000 range—and feature considerably lower carats and jewels. However, this offering is not totally without precedent. Years after the 2009 World Series, the Yankees allowed a fan to customize their own ring from the title for more than $100,000. When the Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup last year, "legacy" season-ticket holders who have had seats since the franchise's inception were gifted their own rings, too.
