A baseball card found in a pack of cards in 2025 has sold for $2.16 million at auction. A customer at All-Pro Sportscards in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, discovered the card last summer in a pack of 2025 Topps Chrome. The card later went up for auction through Fanatics Collect, where it attracted 52 bids, according to Baseball America. It eventually sold for $2.16 million, including a $360,000 seller’s fee on top of the $1.8 million winning bid. Its final price was $2.16 million after 52 bids. That total comprises a $1.8 million hammer price and a $360,000 seller’s fee.
The rare card features Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge, two of Major League Baseball’s biggest stars, and includes gold Logoman patches and both players’ autographs. The identities of the buyer and seller have not been made public. The card sold on Fanatics Collect in an auction that was scheduled to end late on Thursday, but continued into the early hours of Friday.
The one-of-one card is part of the 2025 Topps Chrome collection and features gold Logoman patches and autographs from both players. Ohtani’s patch was taken from a jersey he wore on May 26 against the Cleveland Guardians. The gold Logoman design was introduced by Major League Baseball and Topps for the 2025 season. The gold Logoman design was introduced for the 2025 season and appeared on the jerseys of six players who held major MLB awards.
Each patch comes from a jersey worn during a game in which the player hit a home run. Judge’s patch came from a game four days later, when he faced Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Six players, including Judge and Ohtani, wore the gold patches that year, each representing a reigning award winner in Major League Baseball. Ohtani and Judge wore the patches as the reigning Most Valuable Players (MVPs). The other players were reigning Cy Young Award winners Chris Sale and Tarik Skubal, and reigning Rookies of the Year Paul Skenes and Luis Gil.
