## Caption

Caitlin Clark continues to make history not just on the hardwood, but in the collectible world, too. 🔥⁣
•⁣
Over a year after she first appeared on the cover of SLAM in her Iowa jersey, a CGC 9.9-graded copy of that issue just sold for a record-breaking $4,819 at Goldin Auctions, the highest price ever paid for a copy of SLAM magazine. 💪⁣
•⁣
With fewer than 10 SLAM issues ever earning a 9.9 grade and over 250 total copies of Clark’s debut cover submitted for grading, her first appearance is already being treated like a “magazine rookie card.” 🏀⁣
•⁣
While SLAM covers have traditionally trailed far behind Sports Illustrated in collector value, Clark is helping change that narrative and fast. 📈⁣
•⁣
She recently graced the cover of SLAM once again for the WNBA season preview, with the limited-edition “gold metal” variant (numbered to 94 and priced at $94) selling out almost instantly. 💪⁣
•⁣
This is wild! 🤯 #thegist⁣
