Description
2024 Topps Series 2 Shohei Ohtani #400 featuring the Topps 75th Anniversary logo stamp in the upper right. This card shows Ohtani in his Los Angeles Dodgers home white uniform in a pitching follow-through. The design features a modern grey and white border with the 'LAD' team code in the top left and a circular Dodgers logo in the bottom left.
Key Features
Features the 'Topps 75' anniversary stamp. This is one of the first flagship Topps cards featuring Ohtani in a Dodgers uniform following his historic $700 million contract.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'Topps 75' logo has a specific texture and reflective quality. The print dot pattern on the Dodgers logo and jersey detail is consistent with genuine Topps modern production. Check for the 2024 copyright on the back.
Flaws to Note
Slight white chipping visible on the bottom edge near the 'Pitcher' designation. Centering is slightly heavy to the right (approx 60/40). Surface should be inspected for faint scratches or factory print lines.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for high volume), Mercari, or local card shows. Facebook groups dedicated to 'Dodgers Cards' or 'Ohtani Collectors' will yield the fastest sales.
Selling Tips
Do not grade unless you are certain it will hit a PSA 10, as the grading cost often outweighs the value for PSA 9s of this particular parallel. Use keywords like 'Dodgers Debut', 'Topps 75', and 'Ohtani Pitching' in the title. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a team bag.
