Panini America Unveils Caitlin Clark Collection, Highlighting Career Milestones

Panini America launched the Caitlin Clark Collection on Monday, a series of trading cards celebrating the achievements and career moments of the standout basketball player. Clark, a two-time National Player of the Year at Iowa, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft and is the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division I women's basketball. Her influence on the sport has been monumental, drawing unprecedented attention to women's basketball.

Clark memorabilia has been in high demand since her college days. Following her selection by the Indiana Fever, her new jersey sold out within an hour. Notably, Clark is the first female athlete to partner exclusively with Panini for trading cards and autographed memorabilia. The Panini Instant Blue Viper 1/1 Autographed card sold for nearly $25,000 last month, setting a record for the highest-selling WNBA card via public auction.

“To be able to have my own trading card set that celebrates my time at Iowa and those special moments as a kid when I fell in love with the game of basketball is special,” Clark said in a news release , per Talia Goodman of On3. “Knowing that basketball fans everywhere, especially young girls and boys, will be able to collect these cards is humbling.”

In her professional career with the Fever, Clark is averaging 16.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.9 assists, and 1.4 steals per game in her first 20 games. She leads the league in assists per game and ranks 10th in points per game.

The Caitlin Clark Collection includes a 15-card set with special inserts like College Contenders, Reigning 3’s, Crunch Time, School Colors, and Campus Legends. A special Record Breaker card commemorates her achievement as the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division I women’s basketball. Each pack contains four cards, and boxes come with six packs, with autographed cards randomly included.

“The launch of the Caitlin Clark Collection is another milestone for Panini and celebrates an athlete who has had a profound impact on and off the basketball court,” said Jason Howarth, senior vice president of marketing and athlete relations for Panini America. “We think that fans will love the cards in this collection, and as she continues in her professional career, we look forward to expanding our offerings featuring Caitlin.”
