Florida collector pulls 1-of-1 Ohtani card, then sells for $10M+ - ESPN

The mammoth 1-of-1 Shohei Ohtani Dual Gold Logoman autographed card has been found — and already sold.

A collector in Florida pulled a redemption for the card from a box of 2026 Topps Chrome Baseball at his local card store, Boca Sports Cards in Boca Raton, Florida.

High-end sports card collector Matthew Allen — also known by his screen names shyne150 and Bolillo Lajan San — posted on his Instagram account that «To make it very clear, I paid over 10 million for the card.» Allen is one of three principals of Secure Collectibles, alongside «Shark Tank» personality Kevin O'Leary and Paul Warshaw.

A sale of more than $10 million would make it at least the third-highest figure ever for a sports card, behind the $12.932 million for a 2007-08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logoman Autograph of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant (1-of-1) sold in August of 2025 (also to Secure Collectibles) and $12.6 million for a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, with an SGC 9.5 grade, sold in August 2022. A 2006-07 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection dual autographed card of Jordan and LeBron James sold for $10 million last September.

The Ohtani card features two gold patches of the MLB logo from uniforms Ohtani wore in his back-to-back MVP seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024 and 2025. Ohtani signed the card in both English and Kanji. The patches are from a road game in Baltimore on Sept. 7, 2025, when Ohtani hit two home runs, and from a home game on April 12, 2026, when he also homered. Players who win MVP, Cy Young and Rookie of the Year wear the special gold logo patch on their uniforms the following season.

The Ohtani card market — at all sale prices — has been booming over the past year and this is the fifth million-dollar sale of one of
