Caitlin Clark joins Timeless Treasures

WNBA star Caitlin Clark appears in Panini America’s 2026 Timeless Treasures collection, a 30-card set released during the league’s FIBA World Cup break and featuring players from multiple eras of women’s basketball.

Clark is card No. 13 on the checklist, joining Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, A’ja Wilson, Paige Bueckers, Angel Reese, Aliyah Boston, Napheesa Collier, Maya Moore, Rebecca Lobo, and other WNBA names.

Panini lists the standard 30-card Timeless Treasures set at $74.99. The product belongs to WNBA Instant, Panini’s print-to-order program covering notable moments and special subsets throughout the 2026 WNBA season.

WNBA Instant products are available only during limited ordering windows. Panini lists each card at 2.5 by 3.5 inches and states that sales are final after collectors complete their purchases.

Caitlin Clark has limited parallel option

A second version costs $124.99 and includes the complete 30-card base set plus one randomly selected parallel numbered to five. Clark is among the 30 players represented on the product checklist.

Panini does not guarantee which player appears on the randomly selected limited parallel. Buyers therefore receive the full checklist plus one additional numbered card, drawn at random from the Timeless Treasures set.

The highest-priced Timeless Treasures option costs $249.99. Buyers receive the complete base set plus either one random 1-of-1 autograph card or one random 1-of-1 parallel from the collection in every qualifying package sold.

A 1-of-1 designation means only one copy of that specific card version exists. Clark’s inclusion gives collectors a chance at an especially scarce card featuring a player who already holds major auction records.

Caitlin Clark card sold for $660,000

Clark’s autographed 2024 Panini WNBA Rookie Royalty Flawless Platinum Logowoman rookie card sold for $660,000 in July 2025. The sale established the record for the highest price paid for a women’s sports trading card.

Clark held the previous record with a 2024 Panini Prizm WNBA Signatures Gold Vinyl Prizm 1-of-1 autograph card that sold for $366,000 in March 2025. She therefore broke the record twice in about four months.

Caitlin Clark card carried rookie total

Clark’s $660,000 Logowoman card carried her autograph and the inscription “769 pts and counting.” The number referenced the WNBA rookie record of 769 points she scored for Indiana during the 2024 regular season.

The card sold after 26 bids through Fanatics Collect. The $660,000 closing price established a women’s sports-card record during Clark’s second professional season with the Indiana Fever in 2025.

Caitlin Clark drives memorabilia interest

Clark’s trading cards became a major part of the growth in women’s sports collectibles during 2025. Industry experts cited increasing interest in her memorabilia as one factor supporting greater attention to women’s basketball cards.

Clark also dominated the highest WNBA card sales that year. Roughly the top 40 WNBA card transactions of 2025 were Clark cards, led by her $660,000 Logoman sale at auction.

The Timeless Treasures checklist links Clark with major figures from WNBA history. Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, Sheryl Swoopes, Cynthia Cooper, Tina Thompson, Tamika Catchings, Lisa Leslie, Lauren Jackson, and Teresa Weatherspoon appear in the set.

The 30-card checklist spans multiple generations of women’s basketball. It combines retired stars, established active players, Clark’s generation, and newer professionals such as Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd, and Olivia Miles.

Panini also included recent WNBA names such as Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd, Olivia Miles, Angel Reese, and Aliyah Boston. Miles appears in Timeless Treasures during her rookie season in 2026.

The checklist mixes established players with newer professionals at different career stages. That structure gives the set a historical range while also featuring rookies and current stars whose WNBA careers are still developing.

Caitlin Clark release arrives during break

The Timeless Treasures set went on sale Sept. 3, just before the WNBA season paused for the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup in Berlin. The tournament features 51 current WNBA players representing national teams from around the world.

Those 51 players represent 23.5% of the league’s 217 rostered players. Team USA’s 12-player roster includes Clark, Boston, Bueckers, Collier, Reese, Stewart, Gray, Howard, Iriafen, Young, Sonia Citron, and Kahleah Copper.

Fun fact: Clark’s record $660,000 rookie card was pulled live on an online shopping stream just three weeks before reaching auction.

Caitlin Clark entered break after big game

Clark entered the World Cup break after a major performance with Indiana. On Aug. 28, she scored 34 points and added 12 assists as the Fever defeated Connecticut 111-91 in Indianapolis.

That performance gave Clark her sixth career game with at least 30 points and 10 assists. It also made her the first player in WNBA history to record at least 30 points and 10 assists in back-to-back games, while the rest of WNBA history had four such games combined.

Panini’s 2026 National Sports Collectors Convention Silver Packs included Clark on a multisport checklist alongside athletes from different sports, such as Lionel Messi, Deion Sanders, Tyran Stokes, and Olivia Miles.

The Silver Packs included parallels numbered to 199, 50, 25, 10, and 1, plus autographs numbered to 25 or fewer. Clark, therefore, appeared in a multisport product rather than only WNBA card releases.
