Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of the 2024 Topps Series 2 Purple parallel range from $35 to $55. PSA 10 copies have seen peaks over $200 given his historic 50/50 season momentum.
Condition Details
Generally sharp corners; however, vertical centering appears slightly shifted to the top. The surface has a retail sticker on the top loader, not the card itself, but surface assessment is limited by the plastic. No obvious creases or edge wear visible.
Grading Recommendation
Recommended if the surface is pristine. Ohtani's first base-set card in a Dodgers uniform is highly collectible. A PSA 10 would significantly increase the value, though an 8 or 9 may only break even given current grading fees.
Card Description
Card features Shohei Ohtani in his Los Angeles Dodgers home white jersey (number 17) holding a bat. The 'LAD' team code is in the top left, and his position 'DESIGNATED HITTER' is noted at the bottom. This is Ohtani's first Series/Flagship appearance as a Dodger.
Notable Features
First Topps flagship card as a Los Angeles Dodger. Features the Dodgers logo in the bottom left circle. Rare Purple retail parallel often found in Meijer or specific retail packs.
Authentication Notes
The card exhibits correct Topps 2024 design elements, including the 'Topps 70' anniversary-style logo and crisp typography. Holofoil effects on the 'LAD' logo are consistent with authentic production.
