The trading card industry has long been a competitive space, with athletes from various sports vying for top spots in sales.

However, the latest WNBA trading card release has shifted the balance, with Caitlin Clark leading the charge in a market that’s seeing remarkable growth.

Catilin Clark dominates trading card industry

Thank you for watching

Panini’s February launch of the 2024 Prizm WNBA set has broken records, with prices soaring to new heights and Clark’s cards at the center of this surge.

Clark, a standout rookie for the Indiana Fever and the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, has captured the attention of collectors worldwide.

Her trading cards have outsold the combined total of the next nine athletes on the list, a remarkable feat that highlights her prominence in the market.

As of now, Clark’s cards have sold over 2,100 copies, nearly doubling the sales of second-place Cameron Brink and third-place Angel Reese.

Despite Reese’s own success in the market, including a high-profile sale of her Gold Vinyl 1/1 card for $100,000, Clark’s value remains unmatched.

Her record-breaking Panini Select WNBA Gold Vinyl autograph rookie card fetched an astounding $234,850 at auction in December, setting a new bar for women’s sports collectibles.

This far outpaces the value of Reese’s cards, and even as Reese’s rookie card gained attention, Clark’s continued dominance is clear.

Beyond the trading card market, Clark’s popularity is also evident in her sponsorships.

She has signed multi-million-dollar endorsement deals with Nike, Gatorade, and other major brands, and her jersey sales have outpaced entire NFL teams.

In fact, Clark sold more Fever jerseys in one day than the Dallas Cowboys sold in an entire year.

As the WNBA continues to grow, Caitlin Clark’s presence in the trading card world is undeniable.

With her cards continuing to set records and her market value skyrocketing, it’s clear that she is not just a player in the league, she’s reshaping the landscape of women’s sports memorabilia.

While Angel Reese and others continue to make their mark, the spotlight remains firmly on Clark, who is poised to lead the way for years to come

Reese put up 22 points and grabbed 21 rebounds

Angel Reese put on a show Friday night in the 3-on-3 Unrivaled league.

The 2023 NCAA champion scored 22 points and grabbed 21 rebounds for the first 20-20 game in the league’s young history.

That was before she fouled out of the contest.

Playing for the Rose Basketball Club, Reese was posting up down low when her defender took a charge. The defender might have sold the call, but it was enough to get Reese, who had dominated all night, out of the game.

Reese thought the refs made a bad call, so she wanted her coach to challenge the call, and she was emphatic about it.

There was no challenge, and Reese was done for the rest of the game. Her team held on for a 72-63 win.

After the game, a fan of Reese posted to X to not “be on the wrong side of history” when her career is over, saying “Reese is exactly who she thinks she is.”

It was a compliment, but Reese seems to want her haters to keep on hating.

“no. tell them stay on that side. please,” she replied.

Reese was the seventh pick in last year’s WNBA Draft by the Chicago Sky after a dominant career at LSU that included a national championship win over Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes in 2023.

 

Moments like this between WNBA rivals don’t happen every day

Angel Reese and DiJonai Carrington have built their reputations as fierce competitors. Whether it’s in the WNBA where Reese represents the Chicago Sky and Carrington suits up for the Dallas Wings or in the Unrivaled league during the offseason, where each has demonstrated their skills on the court, but now, they have shared a hilarious moment off the court.

That’s why fans were caught off guard when a new video surfaced showing them in a completely different light. No trash talk, no defense, no high-stakes plays, just Reese and Carrington sharing a moment that no one expected. It wasn’t on the court. It wasn’t at practice. It wasn’t even basketball-related.

Thank you for watching

In the video, the two are seen getting ready together, playfully applying makeup and laughing as they experiment with their looks. At first, they draw playful shapes on their faces, sketching lines above their eyebrows before blending it all in for a flawless finish. The setting is casual, intimate, both athletes appearing natural, their hair loosely tied back, fully in the moment.

It’s not every day that WNBA rivals show this kind of camaraderie, especially when they’re also competing against each other in Unrivaled, the high-profile offseason league designed to highlight the league’s biggest stars. The tournament, created to give WNBA players a competitive and financially rewarding alternative during the season break, has featured intense matchups including some fiery battles between Reese’s Rose BC squad and Carrington’s Mist BS team.

Yet, despite their on-court clashes, this video proves that competition doesn’t have to mean animosity. Reese and Carrington’s playful exchange reminds fans that, beyond the rivalry, there’s mutual respect, fun, and moments of pure authenticity.
