It's not just LeBron James or Victor Wembanyama cards that are selling like hot cakes at auction… Printed and sold last April, at the time of the 2024 Draft, a card of Caitlin Clark has just been sold for $84,000, or 75,000 euros. It is a model ” Blue Viper“, a variant of the Panini Instant WNBA Draft card. On Draft night, this same card was acquired for $10,000. A real somersault for its purchaser!
The record for Serena Williams
The Fever rookie doesn't set a record for a sportswoman, but her card ranks directly 2nd in the history of auctions. Since 2022, the record belongs to a NetPro card of Serena Williams released in 2003. This autographed card has the particularity of integrating a piece of fabric from the outfit of Venus' sister. Its price? $266,400!
In men's basketball, it should be remembered that this summer a card of Wilt Chamberlain reached the astronomical figure of $1.7 million! This is a Fleer card from his rookie season in 1961/62. In 2020, a LeBron James card, released for his rookie season, was a little better: $1.8 million!
