SOLD! See the rare Caitlin Clark basketball card that sold at auction for record $78,000
Iowa's Caitlin Clark is the biggest superstar in college women's basketball. She's got one of the deepest name, image and likeness portfolios of any college athlete. And now her basketball cards are among the most sought-after by collectors.
Eric Whiteback, who goes by The Collectibles Guru on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, last week that a one-of-a-kind card featuring Clark in her Hawkeyes uniform broke the all-time record for most expensive women's basketball card.

Whiteback tracks sports card and other collectible sales and trends online.
He posted Jan. 19 about the ongoing auction of Clark's autographed 2022 Bowman University Superfractor, which at that point had reached $18,000 on online auction house .
"This record was previously held by Sabrina Ionescu at $11,500," he said in his post, which was reposted by Clark. He has since said the all-time record sale for a female athlete's card is one featuring tennis star Serena Williams that sold for $266,400.
The Clark auction closed Thursday night after a flurry of late bids, finally selling for $78,000.
