Summary
- Shohei Ohtani's 2025 Topps Chrome autographed gold card sold for $3 million.
- A Minnesota family acquired the record-setting card during an online box break.
- This sale marks the second time an Ohtani card has sold for over $1 million.
A rare 2025 Topps Chrome autographed gold MLB logo patch card featuring Shohei Ohtani has set a new record, selling for $3 million. The unique card was pulled during an online box break by the Anderson family from Minnesota, who were participating in a "pick-your-team" event focused on the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The family's surprise acquisition occurred shortly after dinner, with initial disbelief turning into realization of the card's significant value. This marks the second publicly known sale of an Ohtani card exceeding $1 million, following a previous $1 million sale of a different unique card in March. The market for Ohtani's collectibles has seen substantial growth, with his overall card index increasing by over 200 percent in the past year.
The sold card features a gold patch from Ohtani's uniform worn during a game on April 29, 2025, against the Miami Marlins. This specific type of patch was first introduced for the season's MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year award winners. The $3 million sale positions this Ohtani card as one of the top-selling sports cards of 2025.
