This card was listed as the following
"2018 Topps Shohei Ohtani signed Topps Redemption Program Reward Sealed From Tops"

If you find the listing you can also see what I paid and why I thought it might be too good to be true. The seller listed it as an auction with a buy it now price. I saw the listing couldn't find any comps. Called the wife to get permission to spend some money (I can afford it, but the wife is not a fan of me wasting money on cards). Then I hit the bin. Noticed afterward it was not going to be authenticated. The wife brought the card to me at work and opened it. This is my Christmas gift to myself I guess.

Fortune sometimes favors the brave...that listing is rough.

I hope your card gems. This is one of my favorite Ohtani rookie autos.

Just got home to and got a better look at the card. It's a beauty! At least a 9 with a chance to gem. Auto is super clean but the bottom is slightly streaky. I am in love. BTW...it was around $1600 with tax and shipping. Here are more photos!

I'm surprised they're just going to display the card around all that sunlight/light.
I guess they don't care about any potential auto fading.

Why is this one of your favorite RC autos? Would you recommend I grade with Beckett or PSA?

I like the photo they used. A billion dollar smile about to change the baseball world forever.

PSA for maximum resell value, but depending on the condition of the card, you could try a Beckett Raw Card Review at a show and try to hit a BGS 10 or Black Label.

Beautiful card and one of my favorite rookie autos of Sho. Well done, Sean. Best of luck on your new quest to encapsulate.

Congrats on the pickup! Here's mine in PSA. Wish it would have graded a 10, but its definitely my finest of fine 9's

What do you think the value of your card is in a PSA9? Beautiful auto by the way!
