Image Variations typically capture players in more candid moments. They also bring added rarity. These plus their connection to the main set makes them a highly sought after mainstay in both Topps Baseball and Topps Chrome Baseball. 2024 Topps Chrome Sapphire Baseball included the short prints on its checklist. A total of 15 players were included with a base Sapphire version and a handful additional parallels. This Shohei Ohtani baseball card, an /5 Red Sapphire, represents one of the rarest.
This card comes from Ohtani's first with the Los Angeles Dodgers, a historic season that saw him win his first World Series, third MVP and became the founding member of the 50/50 Club.
A testament to how hard these were to pull, one of the 15 Image Variation Red parallels landed every 1,666 Sapphire packs.
The card comes graded a Gem Mint PSA 10.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 06/03/2026.
