One by one she is taking over the reins on her path to become the all-time leading athlete to a level that’s leaving behind even the players in men’s basketball. Despite being defeated last season in a run for the national title, Caitlin Clark doesn’t look anything short of oozing confidence. The spirit she is currently is unbreakable.

Making the season super hot, Caitlin Clark’s name has made its way to the G.O.A.T. as she has caught the former world’s No.1 Tennis player Billie Jean King’s attention. Notably, her recent Instagram story is shining with BJK’s blissful praise, “Way to go, @caitlinclark22!” as her Topps Bowman University Superfactor autographed card sells for a value of $78000, making it the most expensive women’s basketball card ever.

However, she still trails at No.2 in the streak of the all-time record for a women’s athlete card to be auctioned for the most value, which is still being held by the tennis legend Serena Williams whose card was sold for the value of $266400 in May 2022.
