Choosing between basketball cards can be tricky when one choice is a lower-priced base-set card and the other centers on a named rookie-card presentation. Here, the useful decision is whether you want Sophie Cunningham's Panini Donruss card or the Caitlin Clark card with its more elaborate title wording. Match that defining detail to your collection, then decide how much the higher listed price changes the choice.
Quick verdict
Sophie Cunningham #24 is the price-led pick for a shopper who wants a specific WNBA card and a simpler set-focused choice. Caitlin Clark Rookie Card 247 is the title-led pick for someone drawn to its specific player and title framing. The deciding question is whether the added title and feature detail matters more than the lower listed price.
Compact comparison
| Card | Listed price | Key listed details |
|---|---|---|
| Sophie Cunningham #24 | USD 2.69 | 2025 Panini Donruss WNBA; Card Number 24 |

Where each card wins
Sophie Cunningham #24 wins when the decision starts with entry cost or a Base Set card. Caitlin Clark Rookie Card 247 wins when the decision starts with rookie labeling: its title uses RC and ROOKIE CARD, and its listed feature is Rookie. The listed price gap is $17.25, so the Caitlin card makes sense when those title and feature details matter more than the lower amount.
Sophie Cunningham #24
The Sophie Cunningham card makes sense for a collector who wants a named WNBA player and the 2025 Panini Donruss release wording. Card Number 24 gives a precise identifier within this matchup. The limitation is the listed condition: Ungraded. Because it is ungraded, it is not the graded presentation a graded-card collection may require. The player name and release context keep the choice specific without adding extra title language to interpret. Pick Sophie Cunningham #24 when the player name, release wording, and smaller listed price are the priority.
Caitlin Clark Rookie Card 247
The Caitlin Clark card suits a collector who wants the named Indiana Fever player and the title's gold/case-serial wording. Its Standard size is listed, and Card Number 247 gives another precise identifier. The limitation is the listed condition: Ungraded, and it is listed as not autographed. That makes it a poor match for someone whose purchase must include a signature or a graded presentation. The exact title language is specific, but the decision still rests on whether that framing matters enough to accept the higher listed price. Choose it for the Caitlin Clark focus and the title wording, not for an inferred advantage from the number 247.
Final choice by use case
- If price is the first filter: choose 2025 Panini Donruss WNBA - Sophie Cunningham #24 at USD 2.69. The listed amount is the clearest reason to select it, while the player and release wording keep the choice specific.
- If rookie labeling is the first filter: choose 2024 Caitlin Clark RC w/ gold ROOKIE CARD Case Serial # WNBA All Rookie 247. The title's RC and ROOKIE CARD wording, along with the listed Rookie feature, directly match that goal.
- If a standard-size card format matters: choose the Caitlin Clark card, which is specifically listed as Standard size.
Overall, Sophie Cunningham #24 is the straightforward price-led choice, while the Caitlin Clark card is the more specific title-led choice. The right pick depends on whether the collection is organized around a lower listed cost or the exact rookie-card framing.
