00:00Record-breaking Shohei Ohtani baseball card sells at auction.

00:04In the ever-evolving mythology of Shohei Ohtani,

00:07another artifact has been forged at the feverish bidding tables of the modern sports card marketplace.

00:13Ohtani's legend, already bursting after back-to-back World Series titles and historic two-way dominance,

00:19just added a $3 million exclamation point.

00:22Fanatics Collect has confirmed that a 1-of-1 2025 Topps Chrome MVP Award Gold MLB Logo Man card featuring Ohtani

00:31is now the most expensive Shohei Ohtani card ever sold at auction.

00:36The final hammer price was a staggering $3 million after 69 bids.

00:42The card isn't just rare, it's iconic.

00:45It features a Logo Man patch tied to a 2025 game against the Miami Marlins.

00:50In a game the Dodgers won 15-2,

00:53Ohtani led off with a home run on the very first pitch he saw from reigning Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara.

00:59It was no ordinary homer, it marked his first long ball as a father.

01:03He also walked, stole a base, and scored twice.

01:07It's a card soaked in symbolism, statistical relevance, and personal milestones.

01:12That game came in the middle of one of the most dominant seasons in MLB history.

01:16In 2025, Shohei Ohtani slugged a career-high 55 home runs and helped power the Dodgers to another World Series crown,

01:25their second in as many years.

01:28Oh, and he pitched too!

01:29He returned to the mound and compiled a jaw-dropping 1.043 whip over 14 starts,

01:35the best of his career, and good enough to rank top 10 league-wide if he had logged enough innings to qualify.

01:41The previous Ohtani auction record belonged to a card featuring a patch from his uniform pants,

01:46worn when he hit home runs number 49, 50, and 51 in a single game.

01:51That performance, against the Marlins, sealed Ohtani's place in the record books

01:55as the first MLB player ever to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in the same season.

02:00That card sold for $1,067,000 earlier this year.

02:06We're witnessing history, encapsulated in cardboard,

02:09where every stitch and every stat tells a deeper story,

02:13one of a player rewriting the expectations of greatness.
