An autographed mint-condition WNBA rookie card for Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark set records when it sold for $234,850 at auction on Saturday.

That is the highest price ever paid for any Clark or WNBA trading card, and the second-highest sale for any women's sports card, according to Goldin Auctions.

The 1-of-1 2024 Panini Select WNBA Signatures Gold Vinyl card features Clark's signature and has been graded a Gem Mint 10 by PSA.

Bidding began at $10,000. The card received 42 bids before the sale closed on Saturday night.

This is not the first WNBA trading card record Clark has broken following her historic senior season for Iowa and her breakout rookie campaign for the Fever.

In January, a 1-of-1 2022 Bowman University Superfractor card from Clark's rookie college season set a record when it sold for $78,000.

Clark's autographed WNBA draft rookie card upped that record following a September sale for $84,000.

That standard only stood for two weeks before Clark's Panini Instant Rookie of the Year Blue Viper autograph card sold for $97,000 in October.

Tennis legend Serena Williams holds the all-time women's sports card record after an autographed 2003 NetPro card featuring a patch of one of her outfits sold for more than $266,000 in 2022.

The value of Clark's Fever rookie cards could be set to increase as she continues establishing herself in the WNBA after setting the all-time NCAA scoring record in four seasons with Iowa.

After completing the most productive season of any point guard WNBA history, while also breaking the rookie records for points and assists, Clark will enter her second pro season as a potential MVP candidate.
