Caitlin Clark can now be mentioned in the same breath as LeBron James.
The Iowa superstar has a new basketball card as she is featured in Fanatics’ new Bowman U Chrome basketball series for 2023-24. The highly anticipated set, which also includes a 1-of-1 dual autographed card with LeBron and Bronny James, dropped on January 19.
The drop comes on the heels of Clark setting a record for the most expensive women’s basketball card ever sold. According to Eric Whiteback, also known The Collectibles Guru, Clark’s 2022 Bowman U card recently fetched over $21,000 at an auction, smashing the previous record of $11,500 held by Sabrina Ionescu.
Clark isn’t the only high profile women’s college basketball player in the new 100-card Fanatics set which also includes cards for UConn’s Paige Bueckers and LSU’s Angel Reese, among others.
While there’s obviously no guarantee in landing the soon-to-be iconic Clark card, your only bet is via one of the factory-sealed packs and boxes. Fanatics — which did a special drop on January 19 with boxes guaranteeing at least two autographed cards — is now selling value boxes for $24.99 with a special code for free shipping. Each box contains seven packs with four cards in each pack along with four Pink Refractor Parallels.
