When 2018 Topps Series 2 Baseball first came out, Ohtani was in the midst of his first season in the majors. The American League Rookie of the Year winner, he created tremendous excitement with his two-way approach to the game. Little did we all know, that he was just getting started. Ohtani has changed the game and, in the process, started baseball's 50/50 Club, earned four MVP awards, won a pair of World Series and created countless big moments along the way.
Being his Topps flagship debut, this is one of Ohtani's most important rookie cards. However, this one has been autographed by the two-way star, adding a layer of importance and rarity. Boldly signed in blue ink, the signature has been assessed as a 10.
This dual-grade Mint PSA 9 with a PSA/DNA 10 autograph is a pop 3 in the company's registry with none ranking higher.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 03/23/2026.
