This story was originally published on July 21, 2026. It has been updated to reflect the latest information about the card. In the history of Major League Baseball, there’s never been two consecutive MVP winners at the same time in both the American and National League before now. And Topps has figured out a way to create unique cards of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani and New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge to mark the unprecedented moment.The recent release of 2026 Topps Chrome Baseball features Back-to-Back Gold Logoman patch autographed one-of-a-kind cards of Ohtani and Judge, taking those relics from jerseys worn in each of their 2024 and 2025 MVP seasons. The set also includes a third Back-to-Back Gold Logoman to honor the Detroit Tigers’ Tarik Skubal for winning consecutive Cy Young awards. Redemption cards for each were randomly inserted in packs, and the Ohtani one is now the subject of rapidly increasing offers to whoever finds it.Hong Kong-based trading card venture Grade 10 upped the ante Monday by placing a $10 million bounty (a preemptive, public offer to buy the card at a stated price).Hours earlier, Secure Collectibles, a high-end trading card investment firm founded by Kevin O’Leary, Matthew Allen (also known as “Shyne”) and Paul Warshaw, vowed a $6.5 million payday for the person who pulls the Ohtani card. This group bought the $12.9 million Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant 2007-08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection dual NBA Logoman autographed patch card last year, which still stands as the most expensive publicly known sports card sale. There was also an offer of more than $5.9 million from China-based Pokecolor Inc. for the Ohtani card in the mix.The inclusion of Gold Logoman patch cards in Topps sets began in last year’s Topps Chrome set to honor each league’s 2024 MVP, Rookie of the Year and Cy Young award winners. Each player had special gold embellished versions of the silhouetted MLB logo patches on the back of all their jerseys throughout the following season to mark their achievement.
