Bidding for Shohei Ohtani's 2025 Topps Chrome Gold Logoman 1/1 card has topped $1.1 million, including buyer’s premium, less than 24 hours after opening at auction.
Lot No. 1 in Fanatics Collect’s December Premier Auction, bidding reached $950,000 on 44 bids as of Friday afternoon. A 20% buyer’s premium raises the hammer price to $1.14 million, which would be the most ever paid for an Ohtani card at public auction. The auction closes Dec. 18.
The current public record for an Ohtani card is the $1,067,500 paid for the 2024 Topps 50/50 Shohei Ohtani Dynasty Black Logoman 1/1 PSA 9 at Heritage in March.
Ohtani's Gold Logoman will also top Paul Skenes' Rookie Debut Patch Autograph, which fetched $1.1 million in March, as the most paid for an ultra-modern baseball card of any kind at public auction.
Created as part of a collaboration between Topps, parent company Fanatics and Major League Baseball, jerseys with Gold MLB silhouettes were worn throughout the 2025 season by each league’s MVP, Cy Young and Rookie of the Year winners.
Fanatics announced in March it would authenticate the jerseys and use 10 from each player to create a series of Gold Logoman cards for future products.
In addition to Ohtani's solo Gold Logoman, Dual Logoman issues featuring Ohtani and American League MVP Aaron Judge will be highly coveted.
The patch for sale at Fanatics Collect was worn by Ohtani on April 29 against the Miami Marlins. Ohtani finished 1-for-4 but hit his seventh home run of the season.
A Dual Gold Logoman featuring Cy Young winners Chris Sale and Tarik Skubal sold for $21,960 at Goldin in September.
Topps and Fanatics expanded the Gold Logoman program to include the NBA when the manufacturer took over exclusive rights to make trading cards for the league in October.
