The Topps Bowman U Now format itself is distinct from any Panini product: it is Topps' NIL-era real-time card product for college athletes, issued during the college season as specific moments occur, creating cards that document a player's college career in real time rather than after the fact. Caitlin Clark's #61SP in the 2023 Bowman U Now product, graded PSA 10 GEM MINT, is the certified perfect edition of the Topps brand's specific document of her college career.

The Iowa Hawkeyes became a national brand. Caitlin Clark was the reason.

The #61SP captures Caitlin Clark in her college identity, before Indiana Fever and the WNBA expanded her story into the professional chapter that followed.
