Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3-$8 | PSA 10: $35-$50
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies have settled in the $5 range plus shipping. PSA 10 copies have seen high volume due to Ohtani's historic 50/50 season, usually selling for around 10 times the raw price.
Condition Details
The card exhibits slight top-to-bottom centering bias. Surface appears clean, but the bottom left corner shows minor softening. Edges appear sharp from this perspective.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless you are confident in a PSA 10. The high population of this base card means only perfect copies carry a significant premium over the grading fee.
Card Description
Shohei Ohtani is pictured in his Los Angeles Angels home white uniform and red batting helmet, following through on a swing. The card uses the 2021 Topps design, featuring a diagonal team logo at the bottom corner and the player name in a vertical sidebar with star borders.
Notable Features
Features a facsimile (printed) autograph on the front side. This is not a hand-signed autograph. Includes the Angels 'A' logo in a yellow diamond.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 2021 Topps base card. High-resolution print dots are consistent with factory production. The facsimile signature is part of the standard card design for this specific set.
