THIS IS THE EXACT CARDCARD RECORD · 2018
Shohei Ohtani
2018 MLB Topps NOW · #23 · Base · RC-marked · Raw
Wins his first major-league start on the mound
Three days after his first MLB hit, Ohtani made his pitching debut and earned the win. Card #23 is the other half of the opening argument for his two-way career. The ten-sale raw median is $109.50 against a $9.99 launch price. Individual results still vary, so ICX uses the median rather than the latest or highest sale.

This one is worth more work. The moment and supply have our attention, but this is not a buy recommendation.
