There was a lot of hype and speculation on Shohei Ohtani's potential impact on the Los Angeles Dodgers' 2024 season when he was signed for a 10-year contract worth $700M.

Ohtani’s 2018 Bowman Chrome #1 is one of his most expensive base rookie cards and is highly coveted based on its price and low PSA 10 graded population in comparison to his others. Bowman products generally have lower print runs than Topps and Topps Chrome products, which helps them retain value better.

Ohtani baseball cards can command tens of thousands of dollars. His skills have reinvigorated the baseball card market.
