Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $4.00 to $10.00 plus shipping. PSA 10 copies have recently settled in the $70 range, though the cost of grading ($19-25) makes grading this particular copy risky unless it is a guaranteed Gem Mint 10.
Description

A special 'Topps 75 Years of Baseball' gold foil stamp is prominently displayed in the upper left corner, celebrating the brand's milestone. Ohtani is pictured in a focused batting stance wearing the classic Dodgers home white jersey.
Key Features
Features Shohei Ohtani in his first year as a Dodger; 1989 throwback design; commemorative 75th Anniversary foil stamp; high-demand player.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card features the correct 'Topps 75' foil stamping which has a distinct reflective sheen. The typography for the 'Dodgers' logo and 'Shohei Ohtani' nameplate matches official Topps production standards for the 2024 Series 2 release.
Flaws to Note
The centering on this specific specimen is off-center right (roughly 40/60) and slightly bottom-heavy. In-hand inspection is required to check for the common 'dimples' or print lines often found on 2024 Topps insert gloss finishes.
