An exceptional BGS 9.5 GEM MINT example of the 2023 Topps Stars of MLB Shohei Ohtani Player Worn Jersey Relic, featuring an embedded swatch of an actual jersey worn by Ohtani — photo matched to February 21, 2023. The stunning holographic foil design captures Ohtani in his signature pitching delivery in his Angels uniform, surrounded by the celestial Stars of MLB aesthetic.
Photo matching adds a remarkable layer of provenance, confirming the exact date the jersey was worn — making this far more than a standard relic card.
📝 Slab Note: There is a minor flaw on the corner of the BGS slab. This does not affect the card itself in any way — the card remains in pristine BGS 9.5 GEM MINT condition. Priced accordingly.
⚡ Fun Fact: The back of this card highlights one of Ohtani's most jaw-dropping two-game stretches: on June 21, 2022, facing the Royals, he hit two home runs and drove in eight runs — then took the mound the next day and struck out 13 batters. Less than a month later, he started his second consecutive MLB All-Star Game, this time as a DH. There has simply been no player like him in modern baseball history.
