In the basketball world, every game is a chance to rewrite history, but sometimes, it’s the players off the court who make the biggest impact. For Caitlin Clark, her name has become synonymous with record-breaking feats, but now, it’s her collectibles that are in the spotlight. While Clark has continued to dominate the court, setting new milestones like most points by a guard in a single season in WNBA history, Sabrina Ionescu is eyeing a different kind of legacy—one that could soon push one of Clark’s records into the rearview mirror.

According to a recent post by wnbacards.com on X, “Sabrina Ionescu Black 1/1 Rookie Card has popped up on eBay…in a CGC slab no less. With the recent Caitlin Clark sales, it looks like the owner is ready to try and cash in! This is one of the most sought-after WNBA cards in the modern era – what would you pay for it?” This post reveals just how the world of WNBA collectibles is heating up, with Ionescu’s card poised to challenge Clark’s record-breaking sales.

With a starting price that could easily top $600,000, it’s clear the market is ready to take Ionescu’s legacy to new heights, creating the possibility that Clark’s world record for an autographed card could soon be eclipsed.

This comes on the heels of Caitlin Clark’s impressive rise in the collectibles scene. A one-of-a-kind Caitlin Clark autographed card was recently sold earlier this month for a whopping $234,850, breaking the record for the second-highest sale for any women’s sports card. This places her just behind tennis legend Serena Williams, whose 2003 NetPro Serena Williams autographed patch card fetched $266,400.

Back in September, another Caitlin Clark card hit the headlines when it sold for $84,000, setting the record for the most expensive women’s basketball card ever sold—until now.

New collectibles rivalry: Ionescu’s $600K card poised to overtake Clark and Serena

Now, it’s all about Sabrina Ionescu, whose marketability has soared due to massive sales of her shoes and her on-court impact for the Liberty. These factors are likely behind the surge in the value of her collectibles, which are set to surpass both Serena Williams’ and Caitlin Clark’s records soon.

While Clark is poised to make new landmarks by bidding for a National Women’s Soccer League expansion franchise in Cincinnati, Sabrina has clearly matched Clark’s marketability. Her shoes have received a warm reception from both players and fans alike, solidifying her place as a force in the world of sports memorabilia and beyond.

As Clark’s legacy grows, Ionescu is emerging as a worthy rival in the collectibles world, and the $600,000 rookie card is just the beginning. The future of WNBA collectibles seems to be in the capable hands of these two stars, and it’s clear that the competition is only going to get fiercer from here.

Will Caitlin Clark’s record stand, or will Sabrina Ionescu’s rare card topple it? Only time will tell. What is clear, however, is that the women’s sports collectibles market is in for an exhilarating ride, and these two athletes are leading the charge.
