Back in 2018, options were slim when it came to high-end, ultra-modern baseball card sets. 2018 Panini Flawless Baseball gave collectors a chance to get a piece of the action with a range of options including some luxurious Shohei Ohtani rookies.
This Rookie Dual Patches Autographs might be one of the best in the product. Numbered /25, the autograph is hard signed directly on the card. Both swatches have multiple colors with the top one showcasing three while the bottom has four.
Not only is this Ohtani rookie graded a Gem Mint BGS 9.5, but it achieves true gem status because of its subgrades: 10 for Centering, and 9.5 for Corners, Surface and Edges. The autograph has also been assessed as a 10. No copy has a higher grade in the BGS registry.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 05/20/2026.
