50/50 card first of Ohtani to break $1M at auction
Briefly

A historic Shohei Ohtani relic card sold for $1.067 million at auction, becoming the first of its kind to exceed $1 million. This 1-of-1 card, featuring the MLB logo from Ohtani's 2024 season, commemorated his impressive 50/50 achievement. Although it set a record for Ohtani memorabilia, it did not surpass the $1.1 million price of Paul Skenes' debut patch card, the highest modern baseball card on record. The card was part of an exclusive Topps set dedicated to Ohtani's remarkable season, further enhancing its value.
