The 2013 BBM Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters #F97 is a base 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 is the base version of the card — the most accessible way into the BBM Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters Ohtani and the natural starting point for anyone building a rainbow of its parallels. Because base cards are the most widely available, condition and grade tend to drive most of the value, and the gap between a raw copy and a PSA 10 is often where the real money sits. Even so, the base is the reference point the whole rainbow is measured against, so it is usually worth owning before you chase the numbered parallels.
BBM is Japan's flagship baseball-card brand, and Ohtani's BBM issues from his Nippon-Ham Fighters years are among his earliest and most historically significant cards.
