WNBA star Caitlin Clark beats Serena Williams to record the most expensive card in women's sports

Indiana Fever guard rookie Caitlin Clark now holds the record for the most expensive rookie card in women's sports. The all-time leading scorer in the NCAA Division I was selected by the Fevers as the 1st round, 1st overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft. After a year in the league, Clark has become one of the biggest names in the WNBA, taking her team to the 2025 Playoffs last season. Now Clark has beaten Serena Williams to break a record she has held since 2022.

In May 2022, a signed, graded Serena Williams 2003 NetPro rookie patch card, was sold for a record $266,400. She held the record for almost three years, before a 1/1 signed Caitlin Clark rookie card was sold for $366,000 recently. She now holds the record for the most expensive women's sports card. The Indiana Fever rookie was one of the most important members of their season and took them to the playoffs before they lost in the first round.

She has been hailed as one of the best players in the WNBA, and we can only imagine what she is going to do next. The 2025 season starts soon, and Caitlin Clark will be back on the court to make her magic happen, this time with the record of having the most expensive card in women's sports.

Caitlin Clark and Serena Williams were recently at the annual NFL league meeting. The former was wearing a red sleeveless bodysuit, and red heels, while the latter wore a black outfit with black heels. But it was the former's physical transformation that had everyone talking. With less than a month till training camp begins for the 2025 WNBA season, Clark looks ready to bring it. Talking to The Athletic, Stephanie White, the new head coach of the Indiana Fever said:
"She is stronger, first and foremost. She figured out right away, 'I need to get stronger, I can't get knocked around as much.' She's done a great job in the weight room, working on balance, strength, and control. The next step is efficiency-fewer turnovers, better shooting percentages."

The Fever star was fouled pretty regularly in her rookie season. And looks like this is her way of making sure it doesn't happen anymore. The referees were also criticized in the last season for being so callous about protecting the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year. But with Clark bulking up before the start of the next season, things are looking up.
