Shohei Ohtani signs exclusive autographed memorabilia deal with Topps Authentics

If you've wanted a Shohei Ohtani autographed jersey, Topps Authentics is on it -- and it's now the only place where you'll be able to land the new Los Angeles Angels rookie.

Autographed baseballs and seven different autographed jerseys were among the first wave of signed pieces up for grabs from the company's memorabilia division with prices starting at $399.99 after their first signing -- and now he's an exclusive as of today.

“I’m excited to be part of Topps Authentics because Topps has a long history in baseball and partnering with its players,” Ohtani said.

“We are excited to add Shohei Ohtani to our Topps Authentics family,” said David Leiner, Topps Global GM of Sports & Entertainment. “He’s a dynamic player who is already commanding a lot of attention. Ohtani and Topps Authentics are a perfect match because fans around the world can feel safe and secure in knowing what they are getting is authentic.

“We always support Major League Baseball players and have become great partners with a number of athletes over the years,” Leiner said. “We’re thrilled to work with Ohtani and his team and to see what he will do on the field this year.”

The former Nippon Professional Baseball star and former Pacific League MVP signed a deal with Topps back in January after signing with the Angels in December. We recently got the first views from his first signing with Topps -- with known cards to come including Allen & Ginter, Topps Chrome and Bowman. His debut autographs arrived in 2018 Topps Heritage. He's also been in high demand on Topps Now with a record of 17,323 cards sold in just 24 hours.

Ohtani's home and road Angels jerseys can be had for $649.99 and up with authentic signed jerseys starting at $799.99 and $999.99 with an added kanji inscription. You can see all of them in the gallery below and by clicking here.

In five seasons with the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters, Ohtani hit .286 with 48 homers and 166 RBI in 1,035 at-bats. As a pitcher, he went 42-15 with a 2.69 ERA and 624 strikeouts in 543 innings — much more dominating marks from the mound.
