It’s Shotime: Chase MVP-Caliber Shohei Ohtani Cards—and Bounties

One week from today, on Tuesday, September 29th, the first fastball of the 2026 MLB Playoffs will officially be thrown. Luckily, baseball fans on Courtyard don’t need to wait for The New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, and more to start their postseason runs. 

It’s Shotime!

From now through this Friday, September 25th, Courtyard is putting special Shohei Ohtani cards into select Baseball Packs daily—and offering up bounties as the icing on the cake.

Whether you bleed Dodger Blue or simply want to chase this generation’s Babe Ruth, we’ve got a rundown of everything you need to swing for the fences.

GOATani Isn’t Done:

The prolific two-way player turned 32 this summer, but he’s showing no signs of slowing down. Ohtani has won the last two NL MVP awards, leading the Dodgers to back-to-back World Series wins in the process—and the four-time MVP winner has got the Dodgers in position to take the title once again: He’s got 30 home runs and a 1.79 ERA on the mound this season as he preps for the playoffs.

How to find The Sho on Courtyard:

Shohei Ohtani’s cards can be found throughout our nine Baseball Packs, as well as in select Sports Packs, and throughout our marketplace, where you can buy and sell your cards to other collectors.

From his 2018 Exquisite Collection 09-10 Rookie Tribute Auto (BGS 8.5), which has a fair market value of $33,000 found in our Baseball Legend Pack, to his 2018 Bowman Chrome Rookie Autographs, which carries a fair market value of $115,000, there are plenty of one-of-a-kind Ohtani long-balls to chase.

Now, pulling an Ohtani card on Courtyard not only comes with the sweet-swinging player’s cardboard, but a bounty, too.
