Caitlin Clark having sought after collector's items was always in the cards, and now Panini America has released a special Clark collection. The 2024 Panini Caitlin Clark Collection looks back on her career at Iowa and features a variety of inserts and autographs.

Endorsement deals for Clark have not been rare in her young career given she and Nike will be releasing a signature shoe together and since the Indiana Fever rookie also has a basketball collection with Wilson.

But just like with ratings and attendance numbers, Clark's cards have also been a hot item. A 2022 Bowman University Superfractor Clark rookie card sold for $78,000, the highest selling women's basketball card on record. While her one of one Panini Instant Blue Viper signed card went for $24,921 on Panini's website, more than doubling the previous high for a WNBA card that was held by Sabrina Ionescu of the New York Liberty.

Clark reportedly will make more than $1 million in the first year of the deal with the trading card company. She previously said this in a statement about the collection, “To be able to have my own trading card set that celebrates my time at Iowa and those special moments as a kid when I fell in love with the game of basketball is special. Knowing that basketball fans everywhere, especially young girls and boys, will be able to collect these cards is humbling.”

Expect more to come as she creates more moments in the WNBA to go along with what she accomplished at Iowa.
