Aside from Clark cards I don't think anyone else's cards have gotten into the mid-five figure range and I don't believe that anything from A'ja Wilson, arguably the greatest player ever, have even reached five figures. Is this completely crazy or am I missing something?

Didn't CC break 8 or 9 rookie records and a couple of WNBA records including assists? Not to mention attendance records wherever she went.
I would argue she had a better season by far over any other player. She is the 1st WNBA player to have any mainstream appeal, nobody cares about that Brittney Griner dude or most of the other players in the league.
Incredible how the WNBA screwed up managing her mass appeal at every turn and allowed the thugs to beat up on her because of their fragile egos. And the crap Sheryl Swoopes said about her was shameful. Officiating is horrible too.
Maybe they can figure it out moving forward, maybe not.
Clark cards have caught fire much like a meme stock, 660K is a ton of money. Personally, I'll take a 14CJ Jackson and leave the other stuff to the speculators.
