In December 2024, her 2024 Panini Select WNBA Gold Vinyl autograph rookie card sold for $234,850. That sale was short of the Serena Williams record, but it marked a turning point. Over time, Clark&#8217;s cards have surpassed past records, setting new milestones for women&#8217;s sports collectibles. Her latest sale makes her the undisputed leader in women\u2019s sports cards.<\/p>\n<h3>Why This Card Sold for So Much<\/h3>\n<p>Panini\u2019s Prizm set is the most popular WNBA trading card series.
