It’s a great time to be a Caitlin Clark . Her return to the court has spurred an onslaught of auction listings. Search eBay and you’ll find a sea of $200,000 “Buy It Now” listings for rare Clark cards, but what’s happening right now is unique: seven of her best 1/1s, arguably the most iconic Clark cards in existence, are live in auction houses at the same time.

Women’s basketball will be defined as the era before Caitlin Clark and the era after.”
Another collector, Val Coleman of , pulled the Black Finite 1/1 in a break and still remembers the moment.
“I sounded like a screeching bird,” the WNBA season ticket holder said. “I booked a flight that night to Michigan to pick it up in person. The drove two hours to meet me at the airport.”

Val even plans to use some of the auction proceeds for
“After that I just want to give back, I want to help out family and friends, and make sure I can continue selling cards to the amazing WNBA community on WhatNot. I am known for wild giveaways and freebies, so this will certainly help!”
