Shohei Ohtani autographed graded rookie cards see big drop in value

As expected, with the news of Shohei Ohtani’s injury that could see him pitch next in 2020, his 2018 Bowman Chrome autographed rookie cards have seen a big drop in value.
For some, it might be a good opportunity to buy low if collectors believe Ohtani can pitch and bat to the level he was this season to date after a potential Tommy John surgery.
We list three below that are up for eBay auction (which all end today) currently at drastically less value than it was even a month ago during Ohtani mania.
For example, unless the bidding increases rapidly in the final hours, the graded autographed Orange Refractor sold for $12,500 earlier this month. Currently, the bidding is at just over $6,000 with about 14 hours left to go.
While that amount will increase, our money is that it won’t get close to the $12,000 mark. Time will tell. Click below at each of the cards to see the most recent bidding price before the auction ends.
