Japan · Card #8 · Topps Now
The 2017 Topps Now #8 is an autographed 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 card carries a Shohei Ohtani autograph, which places it among the most desirable pieces in the set. Autographed cards are valued on the signature, the design, and any serial numbering, with on-card autos generally preferred over stickers. They are also the cards most sensitive to authentication, so buying certified or graded copies removes most of the risk.
Topps Now cards are print-to-order, produced only after a specific game or milestone, so the print run reflects real-time collector demand.
