Item Specifics & Condition

I believe in 100% transparency. Please review the detailed condition facts below before purchasing to ensure mutual satisfaction:

  • Card Condition: Both cards are raw (ungraded) and in Near Mint condition. Card surfaces are clean with sharp corners and strong color saturation on the red koi border pattern. Please note that this series carries a known production characteristic — small cutting marks along the side edges are present on cards throughout this Koi Fish parallel series, inherent to the manufacturing process rather than handling damage. Please review all provided photographs before purchasing.
  • Important Note: This listing is for a two-card lot from the 2026 Topps "1991 Topps 35th Anniversary" Koi Fish parallel series — a design treatment reserved for Japanese players: ・#91AS-50 — Shohei Ohtani, All-Star, Los Angeles Dodgers ・#91B2-12 — Munetaka Murakami, Rookie Card, Chicago White Sox The Ohtani card reverse documents his 2025 NL Leaders standing in runs (146, first in the National League) and notes three separate three-run games during the season. The Murakami card reverse displays his complete NPB batting record with Yakult (2018-2025), including 246 career home runs and his record-setting 56-homer season in 2022.

Collector's Insight

Dear Collector,

Two players. Two eras of Japanese baseball arriving in America. One design. The 2026 Topps Koi Fish parallel is reserved specifically for Japanese players, framing the 1991 Topps revival in a border of red carp — a symbol of perseverance and upstream determination in Japanese culture, and a fitting frame for both men on these cards. Shohei Ohtani appears as an established All-Star, leading the National League with 146 runs in 2025. Munetaka Murakami appears as a rookie, arriving in Chicago with 246 NPB home runs behind him, including a 56-homer season at age 22 that remains the record for a Japan-born player. Together, these two cards document the continuum — the established legend and the arriving slugger, both wearing the same koi border. For collectors building around Japanese players in MLB, this pairing tells a story neither card tells alone.

This is not just a collectible--it is your personal time capsule to the birth of a global icon. As the legend continues to rewrite baseball history, owning this pristine gem means you are a guardian of its legacy. Years from now, this will be more than an investment; it is a piece of the eternal diamond.
