Clark has absolutely CRUSHED the record, with her card bidding at $21,600. The best part? The auction still has 6 days remaining.

The card that Clark broke the record with was an autographed 2022 Bowman University No. 50. For those looking to get their hands on an autographed card from the Hawkeyes guard, she is featured in Fanatics' Bowman U Chrome basketball series for the 2023-2024 season, which released on Friday.

While it is not guaranteed that those who purchase a box for $24.99 will receive a Clark card, it remains the best option for those who aren't willing to spend a hefty amount. Each box has seven packs, which contain four cards each, and four pink refractor parallels.
