Caitlin Clark Signs Exclusive Card, Autographed Memorabilia Deal with Panini
Fresh off of becoming the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer in college basketball, Caitlin Clark has signed an exclusive deal with Panini covering both trading cards and autographed memorabilia.
It’s a multi-year agreement that kicks off immediately on the memorabilia side. The trading card exclusivity follows in a few weeks on April 1.
“It’s an honor to partner with Panini America as their first multi-year exclusive female athlete, and I’m excited to collaborate with them on my own collection,” Clark said.
The deal not only follows shortly after setting the scoring record, but Clark recently declared for the 2024 WNBA Draft. She is widely expected to go first overall to the Indiana Fever. Panini also has exclusive WNBA card rights.
“Caitlin is a generational talent, and it is natural that she should be our first multi-year exclusive female athlete,” Jason Howarth, Panini’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Athlete Relations, said.
In addition to online-exclusive Panini Instant cards made for specific moments, Panini is also producing a set dedicated to Clark and her achievements. According to the company, it will go up for pre-sale in April.
Clark’s first basketball cards released in three 2022-23 Bowman University products: Chrome, Best and the multi-sport Inception.
