With the way the 2026 WNBA playoff bracket is unfolding, Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark could very well meet in the Finals, should their teams reach that stage.
But while an Indiana Fever-Dallas Wings matchup for the championship is still uncertain, the competition for their trading cards has intensified.
Bueckers tops the list of the most expensive WNBA trading cards sold this season, breaking Clark’s dominance.
Her 2025 Panini Flawless WNBA Logowomen Patch Autograph Platinum Bueckers 1/1 sold for an astonishing $249,750 on Alt on Aug. 27.
This sale follows the second consecutive All-Star season for the Wings guard, during which she averaged over 20 points and nearly six assists per game.
Caitlin Clark Still Has Stranglehold on Top 5 of WNBA Trading Card Sales in 2026
But while Bueckers has the top card, Caitlin Clark holds the next four spots this year.
Her 2024-25 Panini Instant Rookie Royalty WNBA National Treasures Rookie All-Star Patch Autographs Green, with a PSA 10 grade and a PSA/DNA 10 autograph grade, pulled in $74,420 at a Goldin auction on Aug. 15.
That selling price is more than double the $29,890 paid for Clark’s 2025 Panini Prizm WNBA Throwback Signatures Gold Vinyl Prizm autograph card during a Goldin auction last August 15.
Another Clark trading card, a 2024 Panini Instant Royalty WNBA Flawless Gold Caitlin Clark RC PATCH AUTO /10 #RPACC BGS 9.5, sold for $24,900 at Fanatics Premiere on Aug. 28.
Finally, a buyer purchased a 2024-25 Panini Clark Instant Rookie Royalty WNBA National Treasures Rookie All-Star Patch Autographs, which has PSA 10 and PSA/DNA 10 grades, for $22,570 last August.
While these cards sold for significant amounts, they are still far from the $660,000 paid for Clark’s 2024 Panini Rookie Royalty WNBA Flawless Logowomen 1/1 rookie card at a public auction in July 2025.
It’s the record for the most expensive trading card by a female athlete.
