2018 Topps All Star Game Complete SET factory SEALED (2) Ohtani SP rookie guaran
For starters, every one of these All Star Game factory sealed sets has TWO Shohei Ohtani rookies in it! Read on to find out more info on this special limited edition set. Every card in this factory sealed set has the All Star Game foil stamp on the fronts of the cards. In addition, there is a special 5 card insert set (one of which is a SECOND Ohtani rookie) sealed in a package included as well see pictures - these are from a set I opened... Your factory sealed set will have the 5 card insert sealed in a cellophane pack.

As a result, Topps only made small amounts of these "All Star Game" sets for MLB as a way to promote the All Star games. The 2018 sets took off in value with the emergence of Ronald Acuna and then Shohei Ohtani, the NL/AL MVPs of the 2023 seasons. Besides those two MVPs, the set also contains numerous other flagship rookies... All of these cards also have the special All Star Game foil stamp!

Max Fried, Sandy Alcantara, Anthony Santander,, Brandon Woodruff, Alex Verdugo, Rhys Hoskins, etc. Besides the regular #700 foil stamped Ohtani rookie card, there is a SECOND Ohtani foil stamped rookie included in each factory set! Ohtani is part of the 5 card insert set... Same image as the #700 but on the back of the card, the card is numbered "5 of 5" (see pictures - these cards are from a sealed set I opened). What other product can guarantees you.

Limited/low print, official Topps Ohtani rookie cards with the RC logo?? Not bounced around/handled by multiple people at the All Star Game or at a Target store. The sets have sat in a cool storage facility undisturbed for the past 6 years...

Making all the cards in the set highly gradeable if that's your thing. Don't forget about Ronald Acuna all star game stamped card too...

With every card in the set having the silver foil All Star Game stamp, this makes this set unique (and easily identifiable) over all the other factory sets Topps produced in 2018. Grading data available on PSA grading website indicates this All Star Game set was made in very limited quantity, possibly 3000 or less sets, which is miniscule compared to any of the other 2018 factory sealed sets. Typically, with any factory seal complete sets, at least one if not all three of the big online retailers will have any given set available in their inventory. But for some reason, none of the big online retailers have this 2018 All Star Game set. They may have other years All Star Game sets, but not 2018...

Because this set had a super limited print run! In 6 years (as of 8/6/24), only 311 of the All Star Game Ohtani have been submitted to PSA. In that same amount of time, 16,791 of the regular #700 Ohtani without the All Star game stamp have been sent to PSA for grading. There's even been more of the numbered gold #700 Ohtani (# to 2018) sent to PSA... These population data points to how limited the All Star Game sets are. Below are some additional PSA population data for Ohtani's #700 rookie card that supports the 3000 or less print run for the 2018 Topps All Star Game set (see one of the pictures for the excel grid picture - the # of submitted Ohtani rookies across the various versions indicate how low the print run the All Star Game ASG set is). As of 8/6/24, this All Star Game stamped foil Ohtani rookie has a low GEM MINT population of only 208 PSA 10s graded that's an increase of only 105 10s since 9/7/22 - almost 2 years time!

As of 8/6/24, 542 of the batting SPs have been submitted, compared to only 311 of the All Star game stamped Ohtani rookie. The batting SP Ohtani rookie has a reported print run of 3000 cards only (yet more of those cards have been sent to PSA for grading than the All Star Game Ohtani rookie).

The All Star game stamped Ohtani #700 has only 208 PSA 10s as of 8/6/24. Seems like a no brainer which one is a harder to find/more valuable card to stash away for the long term. A portion of the proceeds from this listing will be sent to the world relief organization World Help. This water well will provide clean/usable water for a community of up to 1000 people! Thanks in advance for your contribution towards this cause.

One charity, World Help, drills and installs water wells that provide clean/usable water for villages of up to 1,000 people per location in Africa. You played a part in that!

The other 5% will go to an orphanage call Nueva Esperanza Children's Home in Tijuana, Mexico. This orphanage cares for 30+ children and is run completely from donations from people. I have visited the orphanage 4 times over the past 10 years and it's a joy to see the children each time.
