Aliyah Boston's latest teaser with a $3 billion entity—Game-changer or just hype?

Caitlin Clark has successfully brought back the nostalgia. Her Hy-Vee exclusive trading cards with Panini America have finally come to the marketplace and are everything that the Indiana Fever rookie’s fans would want. However, her boyfriend and one of her biggest fans–Connor McCaffery–also has a special request. Will the first overall pick agree to his demands?

Recently, Caitlin Clark shared huge news for her social media followers. She posted the announcement, “Wanna trade? ❤️‍🔥 Hy-Vee exclusive trading cards coming soon.” While the Indiana Fever rookie’s collectible has been making waves, something else from this particular post on her Instagram took everyone’s attention. Her boyfriend commented on her post saying, “Can I get a couple?”

While the cute display of affection was surely heartwarming, Clark’s response was as hilarious as herself. She replied back to McCaffery with one word, “Nah.” This back-and-forth between these two Indiana family members is simply epic. But so is the No. 22’s comment on joining hands with the $3 billion brand.

Back in March, she spoke on this deal by saying, “It’s an honor to partner with Panini America as their first multi-year exclusive female athlete, and I’m excited to collaborate with them on my own collection.”

It will be interesting to see if Caitlin Clark finally lets the Indiana Pacers member her collectible trading card set. But this is not the only collectible that the 2x NPOY’s fans can enjoy.

What’s your perspective on:

Aliyah Boston's latest teaser with a $3 billion entity—Game-changer or just hype?

Have an interesting take?

Right after the Iowa sensation became Indiana’s rookie, one of the biggest businesses in the sporting world took her under their umbrella. This was Wilson, who signed the Des Moines native as the only athlete after Michael Jordan to drop such a collaboration. Previously, Wilson launched the ‘Caitlin Clark Highlight Reel’ basketball, which gave an ode to her historic moments. When announcing her agreement with the sporting goods mogul, the Fever rookie said, “It feels surreal to have my own basketball collection, and I hope it inspires the next generation of boys and girls to pick up a ball and play.”

Earlier this week, Wilson launched Caitlin Clark’s exclusive “Limitless” series as well. It includes three designs– the EVO NXT 3951 game, Repetition, and WNBA Ascent basketballs. Each piece has a personalized meaning behind the look. The EVO NXT version even includes notes from the Logo-3 maestro, which she wrote back in her second standard. These are, “Get a basketball scholarship.” and “Play in the WNBA.” Without a surprise, the entire collection was sold out in mere hours.

It should not be alarming that the 3x Nancy Lieberman awardee got her collection swept away this early. These sales merely became another example of how Caitlin Clark can move the needle and bring in profits. Wilson promises its customers that the restock will return by August. Still, we can say that just like this collection and her jersey, her cards and other collectibles will also be on many people’s Wishlists.
