Anyone else miss this (and care)? PSA recently slabbed a 2013 Ohtani BBM #42, his first issued rookie card, in the rarest Sky Blue parallel version (/11). It's the only one of the 11 slabbed so far.
The Silver version (/100) already sells for a very healthy amount, and I suspect the Gold ones (/50) would as well, though they don't trade often. There has been a Red version (/30) in a PSA6 that seems to keep changing hands at $6,000 to $7,500 or so.
It seems like his Japanese rookie cards are getting more and more attention, at least on eBay.
