2023 Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition added a dazzling, gem-like covering to the season's Topps Baseball cards. An online-exclusive offering, Sapphire has proven to be a popular premium product, which makes rare parallels of superstars like Shohei Ohtani to be highly sought after.
No parallels in the product are more rare than this 1/1 Padparadscha Sapphire. All 660 cards from 2023 Topps Series 1 and 2 Baseball are featured on the checklist. The odds of landing any Padparadscha was 1:470 packs. That translates to 1:310,200 packs for any given card. The pink versions have become synonymous with Sapphire much like Superfractors have become for Bowman Chrome and Topps Chrome.
2023 marked Ohtani's final season with the Angels and his second MVP. He led the American League with 44 home runs while going 10-5 on the mound with 167 strikeouts and a 3.14 ERA.
This 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 06/25/2026.
