Serena Williams Has Beaten Her Own Record for the Highest ... (Sportscasting)

The recent sale of Serena Williams' 2003 NetPro signed rookie card sold for $266400, reaffirming her greatness.

For a female athlete, $266,400 is the highest record for the sale of sports cards. It’s at least the third time the record has been set this year alone, as a one-of-one Luka Doncic autographed card sold two months before James’ for $4.6 million. The record more than doubles the record featuring a female athlete. The card appeared in the July issue of Sports Illustrated for Kids. Williams’ card was in the issue along with eight other athletes. In late May 2022, Goldin Auctions reported that a Serena Williams 2003 NetPro signed-patch rookie card sold for $266,400. A 2003 Netpro Elite Glossy Tennis Serena Williams Rookie card also went for a significant sum at the auction, breaking the previous record.
