We’re a little late posting this one, but it was too big of a pull not to share!

One of our top customers, Ron, came into the shop last week and pulled this incredible Shohei Ohtani 2025 MVP Stamped Buyback Refractor, numbered 150/199, from 2026 Topps Chrome Baseball.

Only 199 copies of this refractor exist, making it a massive Ohtani pull and easily one of the biggest cards we saw come out of the shop last week.

Congratulations, Ron, and thank you for continuing to rip with us at Vanguard Sports Cards & Memorabilia!
