Caitlin Clark rookie card brings $660,000 at auction, nearly doubling previous women's record
One of her rookie cards sold Thursday night for $660,000 on the Fanatics Collect auction site.
That's by far the most ever paid for a women's sports card, nearly twice the amount garnered by the previous record holder — which was also a Clark rookie card.
The new top seller is officially known as the Caitlin Clark 2024 Panini Flawless WNBA Platinum Rookie Logowoman Patch Auto 1/1. It features a photo of Clark and a game-worn patch from her Fever uniform.
The card also was autographed by Clark, who signed her name and wrote '769 pts and counting,' a reference to her WNBA rookie record for points scored.
Clark already was a phenomenon when she got to the WNBA last summer, having led Iowa to back-to-back NCAA championship game appearances and setting the all-time Division I scoring record for both men and women with 3,951 points.
Selected No. 1 overall by the Fever, Clark helped the WNBA reach unprecedented levels of success while leading her team to its first playoff appearance since 2016. She set league records for assists in a single game and in a season and was named rookie of the year.
Hampered by multiple muscle injuries this season, Clark has played in only 13 of the Fever's 25 games, missing the last three and the WNBA All-Star game with a groin pull. Coach Stephanie White told reporters Thursday night that while no new injuries were discovered when Clark was evaluated this week, there is still no timetable for her return.
In March, Clark's autographed 2024 Panini Prizm WNBA Gold Vinyl 1/1 was auctioned by Goldin for a then-record $366,000. Before that, the record amount garnered by a women's sports card was the $266,400 paid three years ago for a signed 2003 Serena Williams card.

Messi's New Bodyguard? Argentina's Rodrigo De Paul Joins Inter Miami
You can call Rodrigo De Paul "El Motorcito." Or, perhaps Lionel Messi's "bodyguard." Either way, you can call him Inter Miami's newest player. The 31-year-old star is officially Messi's club teammate after Inter Miami announced De Paul's arrival on Friday. It's a reunion for the two Argentina stars who led the Albiceleste to the 2022 World Cup title in Qatar. De Paul arrives on an initial loan from Atlético Madrid until the end of the 2025 season, with an option to make the transfer permanent through the 2029 MLS season. He had 187 appearances for Atlético, scoring 14 goals as a defensive midfielder, but did not win silveware with the team. A tenacious midfielder who became a trademark enforcer of sorts on opponents following hard fouls on Messi, De Paul is expected to provide the same sort of physical play at Inter Miami. Along with the 2022 World Cup crown, De Paul and Messi have won two Copa América titles (2021, 2024). "What brings me to Inter Miami is the desire to compete, win titles, to write the pages in the club's history," De Paul said. "It's a club that is shaping up to be great, to have a long history, so that many people follow this incredible team." The arrival of De Paul also put an additional spotlight on Miami's roster compliance rules. Each MLS team is allowed to have three Designated Players on its roster. Those players are paid outside of each teams' salary cap structure. With Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba taking up Miami's DP slots, De Paul – who reportedly made upwards of $12 million at Atlético – will instead play this season on loan. According to ESPN, De Paul will be paid $1.5 million for the rest of this season before earning $12 million per season starting in 2026. Busquets is out of a contract at the end of the season. De Paul would likely take over the DP slot for next season, although it remains to be seen if Busquets (who reportedly makes $8.7 million) would remain in Miami on a lower-paying deal. Earlier this summer, the MLS Players Association published the salaries of all players. Not surprisingly, Messi led the league with a total annual compensation of $20.4 million -- greater than the entire payroll of 21 teams. Alba earns $6 million. Inter Miami's next game is Saturday against FC Cincinnati, although Messi and Alba won't be playing that game. The duo were suspended due to not attending the MLS All-Star Game in Austin earlier this week. MLS rules state that any player who does not participate in the All-Star Game without prior approval from the league is ineligible to play in the next match. recommended Item 1 of 1 Get more from the MLS Follow your favorites to get information about games, news and more

BetMGM Bonus Code WIREBG150: Bet $10, Win $150 in Bonus Bets for UFC, MLB & More
This week's UFC Fight Night is more like UFC Fight Afternoon because today's action starts at noon Eastern Time in Abu Dhabi. You don't have to go halfway around the world to enjoy a piece of the action — you just need two minutes to create an account with the BetMGM bonus code WIREBG150 that earns you $150 in bonus bets when you win a $10 first bet.

If you're a new bettor in any other state, you'll use the BetMGM bonus code SBWIRE to guarantee yourself a protected first bet up to $1,500. This is BetMGM having your back on what's known as the biggest of all sportsbook promos out there. The main event for today's UFC Fight Night is a middleweight showdown between Australia's Robert Whittaker (27-8) and the Netherlands' Reinier de Ridder (20-2). The 34-year-old Whittaker owned the championship belt seven years ago and is climbing back up the rankings in hopes of another title shots. The 34-year-old de Ridder made a big splash two months ago when he knocked out Bo Nickal in the second round to hand Nickal his first loss. According to the latest odds on the BetMGM app — one of the leading sports betting apps — Whittaker opened the week as a slight favorite, but make sure to check it closer to fight time for the current odds. There are several other bouts on today's card that are pretty much even, which includes the flyweight fight between Kazakhstan's Asu Almabayev (21-3) and Peru's Jose Ochoa (8-1).

If you take a spin around the BetMGM app, you'll see odds on two WNBA games (including the Los Angeles Sparks at the defending champion New York Liberty), multiple golf tournaments (including the 3M Open near Minneapolis/St. Paul), plenty of MLS matches (including Lionel Messi and Inter Miami visiting league-leading FC Cincinnati) and much more.
