WNBA star Caitlin Clark's 2024 Panini Prizm WNBA Signatures Gold Vinyl Prizm card, numbered 1-of-1, has set a record sale for a female sports card after going under the hammer for $366,000 (AED 1.3 million) at auction.

The unique card, which has a perfect 10 grade with a 10 autograph grade from grader Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) beat the previous record of $266,400 (AED 970,000) set by the sale of a 2023 NetPro Serena Williams RPA in May 2022. 

Also sold at the online auction was a  2003 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Exquisite Rookie Patch Autograph LeBron James card that sold for $1.159 million (AED 4 million), including buyer's premium.

The James card is numbered 1-to-99.

In early 2021, a numbered-to-23 parallel James RPA from sold for $5.2 million (AED 19 million) privately via PWCC Marketplace (now owned by Fanatics, rebranded as Fanatics Collect), which set the record for most expensive basketball card ever sold.
