For those looking for a stunning Yoshinobu Yamamoto rookie, look no further than this 2024 Topps Inception Autographed Patches MLB Logo. The 1/1 includes an MLB logo patch taken from a piece of gear worn by the pitcher. It's accompanied by a clean 10-grade autograph and presented with a gorgeous, premium design. The player, patch, signature and colors all come together like a piece of art.
Along with the signature, the card has been graded Gem Mint 10 by PSA.
The legend of Yoshinobu Yamamoto took a huge leap during the 2025 World Series. The Dodgers pitcher was named the Willie Mays World Series MVP after winning three games in the best-of-seven. It started with a complete game win in Game 2. Yamamoto's next start was in Game 6, a must win for Los Angeles who were down 3-2 in the series. Six innings, one run, Dodgers win. That sent things to Game 7. On no rest, Yamamoto came through in the clutch, tossing 2 2/3 of scoreless relief. Simply put, it's up there among the greatest World Series performances of all-time.
But it shouldn't have been surprising. Yamamoto had a stellar 2025 regular season, his second in the majors. He started 30 games for the Dodgers, going 12-8 with a 2.49 ERA. An All-Star, he struck out 201 in 173.2 innings pitched.
Adding another layer to this card's story is the fact that it came from a box opened by Karl-Anthony Towns. The New York Knicks superstar pulled it during a live break in September on his breaking channel Bigbodegascards.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 11/07/2025.
