The card features the MLB logo of one of the baseball player's game-worn pants (authenticated by Major League Baseball) with a gold permanent marker autograph of the Japanese star.
Ohtani runs after hitting a three-run home run in his MLB playoff debut.
Shohei Ohtani doesn't stop scoring accomplishments. This Sunday, he joined another exclusive club: the club of players with a baseball card sold for seven figures.
Ohtani's card is a one-of-a-kind autographed Topps Dynasty Black 2024 edition, which led Heritage Auctions' spring auction of sports cards, achieving a value of $1,067,500.
"Ohtani’s first million dollar card. Last night the 2024 Topps Shohei Ohtani Black Dynasty “50/50” Relic 1/1 sold for $1,067,500, a record price for any Ohtani card," he detailed in a Heritage Auctions Sports release.
The card includes the MLB logo of a game-worn Ohtani pants (authenticated by Major League Baseball) with a gold permanent marker gold autograph of the Japanese star.
The previous record for an Ohtani card was reached on Nov. 3, for $533,140. Another Topps Dynasty Black card, with a piece of the pants and batting gloves he wore in the game where he hit 50/50, sold for just $173.240 on Feb. 22, as recalled by The Athletic.
