Dual MVP gold Logoman Judge, Ohtani card sells for $2.16M - ESPN

The 2025 Topps Chrome dual MVP gold Logoman card featuring game-worn patches taken from Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani jerseys — numbered 1-of-1 and signed on-card by the reigning MVPs — has sold via Fanatics Collect for $2.16 million.

It's the fourth-most-expensive modern (typically identified as 1980 through the present) baseball card sold at auction.

The card stems from a collaboration between Topps, MLB and Nike involving MLB award winners, which began a year ago. An on-card autographed, 1-of-1 Ohtani card utilizing a patch from the program sold for $3 million in December; that card, the $3.936 million Mike Trout rookie card, and the $5.2 million Judge card sale a week ago — the most ever paid for a modern baseball card — are the only modern baseball cards to eclipse $3 million at auction.

"[The program] was in response to what we're always looking for: True authenticity, particularly in the patch," Kevin Lenane, Fanatics Collect's vice president of marketplace, told ESPN. «There's player-worn, match-worn, patches matched to specific events. There's something special about a collector being connected to the event through the materials.»

The Ohtani/Judge card features patches worn in games from the 2025 season. According to the Fanatics Collect lot description, Ohtani's patch came from a jersey he wore on May 26 against the Cleveland Guardians in which he hit his 19th home run of the season. Judge's was from a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 30 when he hit a double and coincidentally, also his 19th homer of the season.

Since 2022, Ohtani and Judge have won three MVP awards each. Ohtani, who also won one in 2021, is second all time behind Barry Bonds (7), while Judge is tied with 10 other three-time MVPs:
