Serena Williams now has another record to add to her legendary list.

Goldin Auctions founder Ken Goldin tweeted that an autographed 2003 NetPro rookie card of Williams sold for $266,400 on Saturday night, setting a new record for a card featuring a female athlete. 

According to The Athletic, the price of Williams' card more than doubled the previous record. The rookie card received a grade of PSA 8/Auto 10 and includes swatches of apparel she wore in a match.

Williams actually made her professional tennis debut in 1995, but 2003 was the first year that a set of NetPro tennis cards had been released in almost a decade.

The previous record for a women's trading card was $117,000, set this past January for a July 1999 SI For Kids Serena Williams rookie card. Another card of hers from that same set sold for over $91,000 on eBay in March. Prior to that, the record was set when an August 1992 SI For Kids Mia Hamm card sold for $34,440 in 2021.
