Graded PRISTINE/Black Label 10 by BGS, with Autograph Grade 10 by Beckett (0017786117). Three-time Most Valuable Player Shohei Ohtani—arguably the global face of baseball—has signed this singular, ultra-high-end Topps Now Autographs Gold collectible in blue ink. Below his signature, Ohtani added an extremely elusive inscription of "40/40 Club 8/23/24" to commemorate the day he joined the iconic 40/40 Club with a 2-5 night, including a home run, stolen base, and four RBI performance in Los Angeles' 7-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Dodger Stadium.
With his two AL MVP Awards in tow, Ohtani made the cross-city move to the Dodgers prior to the 2024 MLB season for a paradigm-shifting, 10-year, $700 million sum. He was worth every penny in his debut season in Dodger blue, leading all players in offensive WAR (9.2) and finishing second in the NL in batting average (.310) while pacing the senior circuit in homers (54), RBIs (130), runs scored (134), total bases (411), and OPS (1.036). Prior to 2024, Ohtani's previous career-high in steals was 26; this season, he swiped 59 bags to become the inaugural member of the 50-homer, 50-steal club. In the first postseason of his MLB career, Ohtani led the Dodgers to a World Series victory over the New York Yankees, cementing his legacy not only as a game-changing phenomenon, but also as a winner. After his magical season, the market for Ohtani's finest collectibles has never been hotter. The card's BGS condition report: Centering: 10, Corners: 10, Edges: 10, Surface: 10. A statement on the card affirms the manufacturer's guarantee of authenticity for the piece's content and serves as the item's COA. The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered "1/1." A singular cornerstone collectible celebrating perhaps the most popular active trading card subject on the planet.
