Shohei Ohtani's most graded PSA cards and their prices

How is it possible for Shohei Ohtani to be so good? Shohei Ohtani's greatness makes him hobby royalty. We examine his most popular cards and their prices.

It seems, at least to me, that Shohei Ohtani has been with the Los Angeles Dodgers for most of his career. But this is only his second year with the club. Maybe winning the World Series last season, his first with the Dodgers, made it seem like he belonged in LA all along, just not with the Angels.

With that being said, since Ohtani started his MLB career with the Angels, most of the cards on this list feature him in an Angels uniform. Ohtani's first three seasons with the Angels were tumultuous, despite winning Rookie of the Year in 2018. At the end of his first season, he underwent Tommy John surgery, and the 2020 season was disastrous as he attempted to make his pitching comeback.

But it was with the Angels where Ohtani also blossomed into a superstar. In his final three seasons with the team, he won two MVP Awards and was MVP runner-up in a historic 2022 season while also finishing fourth in Cy Young voting. Here, we look at his most graded cards and their prices. All data was gathered from Gem Rate, PSA, and Card Ladder.
