Description
2021 Topps Heritage Shohei Ohtani #220. This card features the iconic 1972 Topps design with arching text and vibrant pink/yellow accents. Ohtani is pictured in his red Angels away jersey delivering a pitch. The card notes his dual-threat capability with the 'DH-P' designation in the corner.
Key Features
Features the 2x AL MVP Shohei Ohtani; part of the highly popular Heritage line utilizing the psychedelic 1972 design; dual-threat player designation (DH-P).
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity Confidence: High. Correct card stock for Heritage (low gloss, cardstock feel). Accurate 1972-style color reproduction. Not a high-value target for counterfeiting in base form.
Flaws to Note
Significant right-side centering bias (the white border is much thinner on the right than the left). Possible surface scratches from being stored in a binder page without a penny sleeve. Bottom right corner shows slight rounding.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for single base cards), COMC (good for hands-off selling), or local card shows as a 'pull' box item.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this specific card; the off-center alignment will likely prevent a PSA 10, making the cost of grading higher than the card's value. List as '2021 Heritage Ohtani #220' and mention his Dodgers signing to capitalize on current search trends. Always use a penny sleeve before placing in a top loader or binder page.
