The sports memorabilia world is buzzing over Angels pitcher and slugger Shohei Ohtani.
On Monday night, his autographed Topps rookie card sold for $6,725.
"It's a truly foreign market that is buying his memorabilia," said Rick Probstein, whose company sold the card on eBay. "Aaron Judge and some of the other baseball stars we have seen on the rise, have been boosted by a U.S. market alone."
A year after Judge got compared to Babe Ruth due to his larger-than-life stature and frequency of home runs, Ohtani is also compared to the "Big Bambino," not only hitting blasts but striking out batters.
