Caitlin Clark’s Market Value Drops During Second WNBA Season

Caitlin Clark entered the season as the betting favorite for league MVP after a historic rookie campaign in 2024, when she averaged 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals and led the Indiana Fever to their first playoff berth since 2016.

This year, however, Clark has missed 22 of Indiana’s 35 games, with the team sitting at just 19-16 entering the home stretch of the season and no timetable yet established for Clark's return.

When available, she has averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 13 appearances, shooting 36.7% from the field and 27.9% from three, both down from her rookie season, per WNBA.com.

On Friday, it was revealed just how much Clark's absence has affected her market value, as her most sought-after rookie card, the 2024 Panini Prizm WNBA Silver Prizm PSA 10, has cooled sharply this summer.

According to WNBAcards.com, the gem-mint graded card is now down 37% from its all-time high, with recent sales hovering just above $2,900 and speculation mounting that it could dip below $2,500 in the offseason.

What’s Happened to the Silver Prizm (PSA 10) Market

CardLadder’s historic data lists a sale high at $4,999.99, yet as of Friday, the current price of the PSA 10 is $3,150, reflecting a roughly 37% pullback from that peak.

Marketplaces (eBay, consignment platforms) show a range of PSA-graded Silver Prizm listings and recent sales clustered in the low-thousands for PSA 10 examples, according to Sports Card Pro.

Meanwhile ungraded/raw Silver parallels are trading far lower (often in the $200 to $400 range), which underlines the huge spread between graded gems and raw copies.

Sports Card Investor also showed that the Caitlin Clark 2024 Prizm WNBA #22 Silver Rookie card in Raw condition has moved down by $84.66 (-25.3%) over the last month and was last sold for just $335.00.

What this Market Drop Signals

The card market is extremely sensitive to current news. With Clark having missed the majority of the season and not having played a game in more than a month, it's no surprise to see such a massive decline over that span.

Availability, highlight moments and postseason exposure all feed into the ecosystem that drives merchandise sales, endorsement deals and collectibles pricing.

While Clark’s rookie-year surge created a perfect storm for her memorabilia market, the current downturn shows how quickly momentum can stall when injuries remove a player from the spotlight, even one as marketable as Clark.
