Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8 or better)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $10; PSA 10: $30 - $50
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range between $2 and $8 depending on shipping. PSA 10 copies frequently sell in the $40 range.
Condition Details
Visible centering appears slightly heavy toward the left and top edges. Surface through the top-loader looks clean, but minor surface chrome dimples or light scratches are common for this series. Corners appear sharp through the plastic.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless you are confident in a Gem Mint 10. The cost of grading (approx. $19-$25) often exceeds the raw market value, and only a PSA 10 provides a significant return on investment.
Card Description
Shohei Ohtani is pictured in his Los Angeles Angels home white uniform with a red compression sleeve, celebrating an emotional moment on the mound. The card features a headshot in the bottom left corner and the Angels logo center-bottom. The 'P' icon indicates his position as a pitcher for this specific card design.
Notable Features
Refractor finish (indicated by the rainbow sheen visible at the bottom of the card frame). Part of the 2022 Update Series which captures mid-season highlights and trades.
Authentication Notes
The Topps Chrome logo, card stock thickness, and the specific rainbow refraction pattern are consistent with genuine Topps Chrome products. No visible signs of counterfeiting.
