SHOHEI OHTANI 2018 Topps All Star variation LIMITED SP rookie low pop 84 PSA 9

Description: Winning buyer will receive the card described in the item title, a super rare graded Topps flagship All Star game variation rookie card of new Los Angeles Dodgers two way star hitter/pitcher, SHOHEI OHTANI. Ohtani is now the 2023 unanimous AL MVP (that's right, he is a TWO time unanimous AL MVP having won in 2021), after going 10-5 on the mount with 167 Ks in 132 innings and a 3.14 ERA. To add to that, Ohtani hit 44 home runs, knocked in 95 RBIs, scored 102 runs and stole 20 bases (a combined 10.0 WAR for those of you that are into the WAR stat). This Ohtani rookie card has the special All Star game silver foil stamp on the front of the card, found only in a very limited edition of the 2018 Topps sealed factory sets. A limited amount of these sets were made and sold at the 2018 All Star game fanfest in Washington DC to commemorate the All Star game. This card is unlike any of the other pack pulled or factory set pulled Ohtani rookie card as it has the silver foil All Star Game stamp. Factory sealed All Star complete sets is pretty much non-existent any where (none of the big online sellers have this set in stock in their inventory!). In 2019, the print run for the All Star game sets were greatly increased due to the popularity of the 2018 set...never again will there be a low print factory sealed All Star game set like the 2018 sets.Estimates have the 2018 All Star game sets print run somewhere in the 3000 (or less) sets with most of those sets sitting in closets (so very little available to the general public) which is super low compared to the regular base version, making the All Star game stamped Ohtani rookie card similar in print run to the Gold rookies. To date (9/19/2024), PSA has only graded 84 of these special All Star stamped Ohtani rookies in PSA 9 grade.Note that the picture is the scan of the EXACT card willing buyer will be receiving!!This card has been professionally graded a PSA 9 (which is MINT), by Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), the top grading services in the sports card industry. Why buy a graded card by PSA? Because PSA is the top grading company in terms of resale value. Why buy a graded card in the first place? Because if you want your card to appreciate in value, the condition of the card is very important. Having the card sealed in the case & it's condition graded allows you to easily sell/trade the card online.

Thanks in advance for your contribution towards this cause.Update 8/16/20 - as eBay has required me to switch over to "managed payment", I will need to adjust each of my listings one at a time for the charitable contribution part. Though my listings now do not say so specifically about the charity contribution, I will continue to deduct 10% off every sale and send those proceeds to TWO different charities I am fundraising for. One charity, World Help, drills and installs water wells that provide clean/usable water for villages of up to 1,000 people per location in Africa. Fundraising recently completed funds needed for water well #3 so thank you to everyone that has purchased from this store over the last 4 years...you played a part in that! The other 5% will go to an orphanage call Nueva Esperanza Children's Home in Tijuana, Mexico. This orphanage cares for 30+ children and is run completely from donations from people. I have visited the orphanage 4 times over the past 10 years and it's a joy to see the children each time. So rest assure that 10% of your purchase is going to these causes.
