2016 Calbee #S-04 Shohei Ohtani Japan
Japan · Card #S-04 · Calbee
The 2016 Calbee #S-04 is a starcard gold foil Shohei Ohtani card from his NPB career in Japan with the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters. It predates his MLB debut, making it a Japanese (NPB) issue prized by collectors tracing where his two-way career began.
This Starcard Gold Foil is a chromium parallel of the base card. Refractors and parallels catch light differently and generally sit a step above the base in demand, with grade and eye appeal doing much of the work in setting price. An unnumbered refractor like this is usually the most attainable step up from the base while still carrying the premium chrome look collectors want.
Calbee cards — famously inserted into bags of chips in Japan — are a beloved NPB issue, and Ohtani's early Calbee cards trace his rise as a two-way star before his move to MLB.
