The only Dynasty Black card in 2025 Topps MLB MVP Collection sold for $3,240,000 at Fanatics Collect on Oct. 23, 2026. It is a Shohei Ohtani 1/1 whose MLB Logoman patch was cut from the pants he wore in Game 4 of the 2025 NLCS, the night he hit three home runs and struck out 10. Nineteen months ago, the first Dynasty Black Ohtani Logoman to sell publicly brought $1.067 million. This one sold for about three times as much.

The Lot

The card is the 2025 Topps MLB MVP "The Game" Dynasty Black Shohei Ohtani MLB Logoman Patch Autograph, #SOD-1, numbered 1/1 and graded PSA 9 (cert 175111701). Fanatics lists its PSA population as one. It was Lot 1 of Fanatics Collect's October Premier Auction, which opened Oct. 8. The lot page records the result as sold on Oct. 23, 2026, for $3,240,000 with buyer's premium, after 52 bids.

The front carries a "Games for the Ages" banner, the date "October 17, 2025" under the patch, the words "NLCS Game 4 Pants" running up the frame, and Ohtani pictured twice, once at the plate and once on the mound. The autograph is in gold ink. According to Fanatics, the back of the card shows the pants the patch came from and names the game.

The Game in the Patch

The Dodgers led the Milwaukee Brewers three games to none when Game 4 of the National League Championship Series was played on Oct. 17, 2025. Ohtani pitched six scoreless innings and struck out 10. He also batted leadoff and hit three home runs. The Dodgers won the pennant that night.

"I think I can say without a question, it's probably the best origin for a patch that we've ever seen," Fanatics Collect vice president Kevin Lenane told The Athletic. "That might be the greatest game of baseball ever played."

The card came out of 2025 Topps MLB MVP Collection, a limited release built around Ohtani and Aaron Judge after both won their second straight MVP awards. Fanatics' listing says the Dynasty Black card was randomly inserted, and The Athletic reported that there was exactly one Dynasty Black card in the set's entire print run.

A $250 Break Spot

The consignor is Arik Cannon, a 44-year-old independent pro wrestler from St. Paul, Minn., The Athletic's Larry Holder reported on Oct. 22. Cannon bought into an online box break hosted by East West Bats in March, paying about $250 for a randomized spot. A wheel spin gave him the Dynasty Black spot, and the breakers revealed a redemption card for the Ohtani.

The card never reached his hands; it has been in the Fanatics Vault since he redeemed it, according to the report. Cannon said the first use of the money would be paying off his father's debts.

How Fast It Climbed

On the morning the auction was due to end, The Athletic reported, the bid stood at $1.74 million including buyer's premium. It closed at $3.24 million.

Analysis: That is $1.5 million, about 86%, added on the final day. The closing-morning bid understated the result by almost half.

The First Dynasty Black Logoman

This is not the first card built on this idea. Topps introduced Dynasty Black in September 2024 as a series of cards with game-used memorabilia tied to specific moments, cllct reported in March 2025. The first was in 2024 Topps 50-50: Shohei Ohtani, whose Logoman 1/1 used a patch from the pants Ohtani wore when he hit his 50th home run of the 2024 season.

That card sold at Heritage Auctions on March 30, 2025, for $1.067 million with buyer's premium, Bleacher Report reported, citing Topps. At the time it was the most expensive Ohtani card ever sold publicly. The Athletic counts four Dynasty Black cards produced to date: three in the 50-50 set, this Ohtani from the MVP set, and a Clayton Kershaw card marking his 3,000th strikeout, issued through Topps Now.

Analysis: Two Ohtani Dynasty Black Logomans have now sold publicly. Both carry a pants patch from a single dated game, and the second sold for about three times the first. The two sales do not isolate the game as the reason. Nineteen months separate them, and in that time the top of Ohtani's market moved sharply: this blog reported a $3.365 million private sale of his 2018 Bowman Chrome Superfractor in CASE #0171 and the $11 million sale of his 1/1 Dual Gold Logoman in CASE #0205. The $3.24 million ranks below both of those, so it is not an Ohtani record.

Why It Matters to the Hobby

Analysis: Most patch cards ask collectors to trust that the fabric was worn at some point in a season. Dynasty Black names the game, prints the date and pictures the garment. Both Dynasty Black Logomans to sell publicly reached seven figures, which gives Topps a reason to keep making them. That is a reading of two sales, not a measured premium.

Verdict: Ohtani's NLCS Game 4 Logoman, the only Dynasty Black card in 2025 Topps MLB MVP Collection, sold for $3.24 million after 52 bids. It came from a $250 break spot and sold for about three times the first Dynasty Black Ohtani Logoman. It ranks below his $3.365 million and $11 million sales.
