Description
This is a custom fan-art baseball card featuring Shohei Ohtani in his Los Angeles Dodgers home uniform. The design utilizes a 'Neon' aesthetic with a glowing blue border and red neon 'DODGERS' text at the top, mimicking the 2024 Topps flagship design. It captures Ohtani mid-swing with the Dodgers 'LA' logo in the bottom left.
Key Features
Features Shohei Ohtani in his inaugural Dodgers season; unique neon art style; highly collectible for player-specific 'super-collectors' who enjoy non-traditional cards.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence: High (Identifying as Custom). This is not an official Topps-issued product; it is an 'Art Card' or 'Custom.' Official Topps cards have specific copyright micro-text and security features on the back not present in custom prints.
Flaws to Note
Visible white chipping on the top-right corner; bottom-left corner shows slight rounding; the black borders are prone to showing fine surface scratches; centering appears slightly shifted to the right.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (listed under Sports Mem, Cards & Fan Shop > Custom Cards) or Etsy. Social media groups (Facebook/Instagram/X) dedicated to Ohtani collectors are also viable options.
Selling Tips
Clearly state in the title and description that this is a 'CUSTOM' or 'REPRINT ART' card to avoid buyer disputes. Do not submit for professional grading. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a non-machinable envelope.
