(LOT 169)
2018 Bowman Chrome National Convention #BNRSO Shohei Ohtani Autograph 4/5 PSA 9 MINT Auto Grade 10 GEM MINT
TWO-WAY PHENOM!!! As one of the first 6-7-8-tool players in MLB history, Shohei Ohtani ran away with the AL Rookie of the Year in 2018, blasting 22 home runs, stealing ten bases and posting a 4-2 record with 63 Ks. He has since won an American League MVP in 2021 with a 9-2 record and 159 Ks in 23 starts, as well as 46 homers, 100 RBIs and a league-leading eight triples. Extraordinary! And he has all but locked up the AL MVP for 2023 with similar numbers. Offered here is a 2018 Bowman Chrome #BNR-SO Shohei Ohtani Autograph 4/5 PSA 9 MINT Auto Grade 10 GEM MINT - one of only five examples, and this one rests in a PSA 9/10 holder.

As one of five produced (4/5), this 2018 Bowman Chrome Autographed Red Refractor was distributed solely at the National Convention in Cleveland. With only five examples produced, the rarity, and ultimate value, of this Ohtani issue cannot be overstated given that recent sales of 2018 Bowman Chrome Autographed Red Refractor from the non-National packs have exceeded more than $184,000. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first 2018 Bowman Chrome BNR-SO Shohei Ohtani Autographed example to ever be offered publicly. This ultra-rare and spectacularly graded issue is one for the most advanced Ohtani or rookie card collectors!
