Shohei Ohtani's 1-of-1 Topps Chrome Gold Logoman Autograph Card sold for a record $3 million at Fanatics Collect auction on Thursday night. The card, featuring a patch from his 2024 National League MVP uniform, shattered previous benchmarks for Ohtani collectibles and modern baseball cards. The sale highlights the surging value of Ohtani's memorabilia amid his ongoing stardom with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers' two-way superstar, continues to dominate beyond the field, as one of his trading cards fetched an unprecedented price. On Thursday night, his 2025 Topps Chrome Gold Logoman Autograph Card auctioned for $3 million, including the buyer's premium, through Fanatics Collect. This 1-of-1 card includes Ohtani's signature alongside a gold logo patch from a uniform he wore to honor his 2024 National League MVP Award, part of a special Topps and MLB program for award winners.
The patch originates from April 29, 2025, when Ohtani hit his seventh home run of the season in a 15-2 victory over the Miami Marlins. That homer, off Miami's Sandy Alcantara, marked his first since returning from paternity leave following the birth of his first child. In the game, Ohtani went 1-for-4.
The card was pulled recently by Pete Anderson and his 11-year-old twin sons, Colton and Henry, during a box break in Minneapolis. They had bought rights to Dodgers cards from select packs of 2025 Topps Chrome and received a redemption card for the Logoman. "They’re a big collecting family, but this is a meaningful amount of money for them, so they wanted to sell the card pretty much right away," said Fanatics Collect VP Kevin Lenane in an MLB Network interview. "They loved the card, but for them, the value is in the experience, and not so much the card itself. And also, the dollars involved are pretty significant."
Bidding escalated rapidly, surpassing $1 million in under 24 hours and drawing 69 bids that extended past 2 a.m. ET. The sale broke Ohtani's prior record of $1,067,000 set in March for another card, becoming the highest publicly sold Ohtani item, the top Dodgers card, and the most valuable modern baseball card in the last five years—eclipsing a 1933 Babe Ruth Goudey card at $1.63 million from 2024. It fell short, however, of Babe Ruth's 1914 Baltimore News rookie card, which sold for $4.03 million in October 2025.
The Anderson family plans to reinvest part of the proceeds into more card collecting, with Pete Anderson saying, “Ride the wave!” The twins intend to save for college tuition. The buyer remains anonymous. This comes amid Ohtani's 2025 achievements, including a third consecutive MVP, fifth straight All-Star selection, and helping the Dodgers win back-to-back World Series titles with a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
