Former United States Women’s National Team star Mia Hamm is back to breaking records after her rookie card sold for $34,440 this weekend.
The 1992 rookie card nearly doubled the previous record for the most expensive female sports card, per ESPN. Hamm’s rookie card is from a 1992 edition of SI For Kids, appearing in magazines across the country following her first FIFA Women's World Cup appearance in 1991. The previous record for a female sports card belonged to Alex Morgan, whose rookie card reportedly sold for $16,000.
Hamm is a worthy record holder of the most expensive card for a female athlete.
