Fans who watch the global game know the name Shohei Otani and now that he's firmly set his sights on MLB -- as soon as next year -- collectors once again have a reason to seek out his cards.

And their shot at some American cardboard of the pitcher-slugger is coming once again.

His only American-made cardboard was mistakenly released in 2017 Bowman Mega Boxes that were only found at Target stores for a brief time early this year. He was originally set to appear on a World Baseball Classic card in 2017 Bowman but when he didn't play, the card was pulled from the product.

It's a signature that helped change the world, and it's hitting the auction block in November.

It the autograph that adorns Jackie Robinson's contract to join the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 11, 1947, and it will be sold along with his Montreal Royals contract from 1945 at the museum that carries his name on Nov. 16 in New York City as part of a sale handled by Goldin Auctions. 

"There are many documents on display in museums that represent seminal moments in history which forever changed America such as The Declaration of Independence, The Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation," said Ken Goldin, owner of Goldin Auctions. "But most historians believe that the integration of baseball with the signing of Jackie Robinson had as great an impact on America as any other moment in history.

"In fact, Martin Luther King called Robinson the founder of the Civil rights movement. Bringing the most important baseball document and the founding document of the Civil Rights movement to auction is an awesome responsibility and we are honored to help find them a permanent home for future generation to enjoy.”
