Another Clark card, also from Panini’s recent Rookie Royalty WNBA series, could challenge the new record set. A Clark Logowoman card, numbered 1 of 1 and autographed, is currently at $219,600 (with buyer’s premium) on Goldin Auctions and is scheduled to enter an extended bidding on August 9.

Clark hasn’t played since July 15 due to a right groin injury. On Thursday, the Indiana Fever announced that there is no timetable for her return.
