The 2018 Donruss Optic release combines the chrome shine of modern-day collecting with some of the greatest aspects of Donruss baseball card history. One of those hallmarks that remains beloved to this day across a range of Donruss sports products is the inclusion of that classic blue Rated Rookie logo. When he came over to the majors ahead of the 2018 season, Shohei Ohtani was indeed highly rated. Interest in the two-way superstar and his cards has only risen in the years since.
Like virtually every chromium release, Ohtani's 2018 Donruss Optic rookie card has an abundance of parallels—17 to be exact. This /7 Cracked Ice ranks as one of the rarest with only /5 Green and 1/1 Gold Vinyl coming in with fewer copies. Cracked Ice rank as some of Panini's most popular parallels, distinct for their background pattern.
The Japanese phenom established the 50/50 Club, took home another MVP, and captured his first World Series title last in 2024. Ohtani followed that up with another MVP, his fourth, and a second World Series in 2025.
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.
