In an announcement that has sent shockwaves through the sports card collecting community and baseball fans, Topps has confirmed the release of one of the rarest and most valuable cards ever made: a “1/1 Dynasty Black” card featuring the logoman patch worn by Shohei Ohtani in the historic game — where he hit three home runs and hit 10 strikeouts in NLCS Game 4.
The news has sparked an immediate firestorm on collector forums, with many claiming that this could become the most expensive card in modern baseball card history, potentially even challenging the auction records of legends like Mickey Mantle and Mike Trout.
The NLCS Game 4, where Shohei Ohtani hit three home runs and 10 strikeouts, was quickly hailed by experts as one of the greatest individual performances of all time in the MLB playoffs.
Seeing a two-way player do it—under the most pressure—was the stuff of comic books.
But now, the historic moment is no longer just a video or a stat sheet. It’s frozen, preserved, and put on a one-of-a-kind card:
The 1/1 Ohtani Dynasty Black Logoman Game-Worn Patch.
The logo patch—taken directly from the jersey Ohtani wore during the game—makes the card a true “holy grail” for the sports card collecting community.
Topps says the ultra-rare card will be randomly included in a pack of the upcoming 2025 Topps MLB MVP Collection.
The fact that such a high-profile item was randomly “hidden” in thousands of packs created a real sense of treasure hunting, sending the entire collector community into a frenzy.
Many fans believe that Topps made an extremely bold strategic move:
Increase market value ahead of the collection’s release
Gain global attention, not just among collectors
Turn a historical moment into a commercial highlight
Some experts even predict that the market value of each MVP Collection 2025 box could double, or even triple, just because of the existence of this 1/1 card.
Three factors: rarity – history – symbolism.
1. Absolute rarity: only one 1/1.
In the world of collecting, the concept of “1/1” is the ultimate measure of value. It means: only one person in the world can own it.
2. Direct connection to a legendary moment.
The Logoman patch is cut from the exact jersey Ohtani wore in the iconic playoff game where he produced a “superhuman” 3HR + 10K performance.
This is no ordinary piece of cloth — it’s a witness to history.
3. Ohtani is a global phenomenon.
No MLB player has had the commercial, professional, and cultural influence of Shohei Ohtani.
His cards have consistently broken auction records in recent years.
The appearance of this card marks a new turning point for the baseball card market. Analysts say Topps is ushering in an era where:
Historical moments are packaged as relics
Cards are no longer collectibles, but investments
Fans can own a piece of sports history — literally
The Shohei Ohtani 1/1 Dynasty Black Logoman Patch is more than just a card market masterpiece.
It embodies an immortal sports moment — and now, it awaits the lucky person who can open it from any pack in the 2025 Topps MLB MVP Collection.
A card.
A historic moment.
A living legend.
