Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30 - $45; Graded (PSA 10): $100 - $140
Recent Sales
Recent sales on eBay and 130Point show raw copies consistently selling between $25 and $50 depending on timing, given his 2024 50/50 season MVP hype.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly shifted towards the right border. Surface shows minor dust/debris from the top loader. Edges and corners appear sharp through the plastic but need naked-eye inspection to confirm absence of micro-wear.
Grading Recommendation
Moderate Recommendation. Chrome Mojo cards are popular, but the centering on this copy (heavy right) might prevent a Gem Mint 10. Only grade if you believe the surface is flawless to ensure a profit over the grading fees.
Card Description
Shohei Ohtani shown in his Los Angeles Dodgers away gray uniform, jersey number 17, mid-swing. The design is a 35th-anniversary tribute to the 1989 Topps set, featuring a 'Dodgers' logo in the top left and a metallic silver '35th Anniversary' stamp in the lower-left corner against a geometric 'Mojo' pattern background.
Notable Features
35th Anniversary 1989 design; Mojo Refractor technology; first flagship-year Topps Chrome card featuring Ohtani as a Dodger.
Authentication Notes
The card exhibits correct Topps Chrome stock thickness and 'Mojo' etch pattern. The refraction reflects light in the expected geometric blocks. No signs of counterfeiting are present.
