2018 Topps Chrome Update #HMT1 Shohei Ohtani RC
RC · Card #HMT1 · Topps Chrome Update
The 2018 Topps Chrome Update #HMT1 is a numbered parallel Shohei Ohtani card from his 2018 MLB rookie season with the Los Angeles Angels. It comes from his 2018 MLB rookie class — the year most collectors treat as his true rookie season — which keeps demand for cards like this consistently strong.
This Pink Refractor is serial-numbered to just 75 copies (/75), which puts it well above the base card in scarcity. Numbered parallels are where print run and color start to matter as much as grade. The lower the run, the more a strong grade compounds the premium, so it is worth checking population data before you buy.
Topps Chrome is the chromium, refractor-based version of the flagship set, and its rainbow of refractors and colored parallels is the backbone of modern Ohtani collecting.
