Description
A 2018 Topps Heritage Shohei Ohtani Rookie Card featuring the iconic 1969 Topps design. The card depicts Ohtani in his Los Angeles Angels home white uniform holding a glove. It features the matte finish card stock characteristic of the Heritage set, with the 'DH/P' dual-threat designation in the bottom right corner circle.
Key Features

Authenticity Indicators
Correct card stock texture (non-glossy matte feel), clear logo typography, and accurate color registration. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant left-to-right centering bias which is a common issue with 2018 Heritage. Minor white chipping visible on the top right corner. Surface appears clean but matte stock is prone to minor indentations.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for high volume and immediate market value. For higher graded versions, Goldin or Heritage Auctions are recommended.
Selling Tips
Due to the centering flaw, this card may not be a strong candidate for PSA 10 grading; selling raw or to a collector who cares less about centering is advised. Use high-resolution scans to show the sharp corners to offset the centering deduction. Mention 'Rookie' and 'Heritage' prominently in keywords.
