Ohtani’s rookie cards were very popular when he first came to MLB in 2018 due to the huge excitement around him as a two-way player. Now that he’s proven himself to be a truly generational talent, any trading cards and memorabilia for the two-time MVP are fetching a huge premium.

As good as he has been in the past, the 30-year-old player was at a completely different level in 2024. He had a .310/.390/.646 slash line and became the first player in MLB history to hit 50 home runs. he stole 50 bases in the same season.
