A 2025 Topps Chrome dual MVP gold Logoman card featuring game-worn patches from Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani jerseys has sold for $2.16 million via Fanatics Collect. The 1-of-1 card, signed on-card by both reigning MVPs, ranks as the fourth-most-expensive modern baseball card ever auctioned. This sale follows Judge's recent record-setting $3.936 million card and Ohtani's $3 million auction last December.

The collaboration between Topps, MLB and Nike involves award winners' memorabilia. Judge's patch came from a May 30 game against the Dodgers where he hit his 19th homer, while Ohtani's patch was from his May 26 jersey against Cleveland when he also hit his 19th homer. Fanatics Collect's Kevin Lenane emphasizes the program focuses on "true authenticity" with player-worn patches matched to specific events.

Judge and Ohtani have each won three MVP awards since 2022, with Ohtani adding a 2021 title to trail only Barry Bonds (7) on the all-time list. Lenane notes "more collectors than ever," including players themselves. "They're all curious about the process, where their memorabilia is going," he said, acknowledging the market's robust performance and players' growing awareness of their memorabilia's value.
