This monumental figure isn’t just impressive, it’s a massive leap from the previous record, showing just how far women’s sports cards have come in recent years.
The sale blew past the previous high by a staggering 80%.
The card in question is her Logowoman rookie card, a piece of sports history featuring the breakout scoring total for the Indiana Fever star.
It’s not just a rare collectible, it’s a symbol of Clark’s domination in the basketball world.
The card is signed and inscribed with Clark’s scoring total for her rookie season.
It’s hard to overstate how much this sale means both for women’s sports and for card collectors.
The sale marks an astronomical 1,800% increase from the previous all-time high for a women’s sports card, set just four years ago.
Back in 2021, the most expensive women’s sports card was a mere $34,000.
To think that in just a few short years, that figure has exploded into the six-figure range is a testament to the growing recognition of female athletes.
Clark, who plays for the Indiana Fever and is widely considered one of the best women’s basketball players, is no stranger to record-breaking feats. But this is one for the books.
Her rise from college sensation to global icon has been nothing short of meteoric. The sale of her rookie card reflects the growing demand for memorabilia tied to female athletes who’ve made history on the court, in the field, or on the track.

And it’s not just about Clark’s basketball prowess, her charisma, work ethic, and presence on and off the court have made her a darling of sports fans and collectors alike. This sale only proves how much her brand is worth.
According to SoccerCards.ca the previous record for a women’s sports card was a 1992 Mia Hamm rookie card, sold for $34,440 in 2021.
But now, Clark’s card has surpassed that by a significant margin, setting a new benchmark in the world of women’s sports collectibles.
