An unsigned Shohei Ohtani game-used 2026 World Baseball Classic jersey sold for just north of $1.5 million Sunday night via MLB Auctions, shattering the previous high public sale of an Ohtani jersey, autographed with “24 NL MVP,” which was $249,999 in 2025 on Fanatics.
While Sunday’s sale did not come close to matching the price of other jerseys — Babe Ruth’s “called shot” jersey from the 1932 World Series went for $24.12 million in 2024, or Jackie Robinson and Mickey Mantle (both more than $4 million) — it does raise the bar for future game-used Ohtani jersey sales from a major MLB event to perhaps match or eclipse Robinson and Mantle.
And just last Thursday, a one-of-a-kind 2025 Topps MVP gold Logoman patch autographed card of Ohtani and New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge sold for $2.16 million via auction through Fanatics Premier. The card features special gold-embellished MLB logo jersey patches worn by each reigning MVP.
That sale marked the second time a Judge card has sold for more than $1 million, but a solo Ohtani 2025 Topps Chrome one-of-one gold Logoman patch autographed card sold through Fanatic Premier fetched $3 million.
Along with the $1.5 million jersey sale, the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar has three cards that have sold for $1 million or more.
