Shohei Ohtani & Mickey Mantle Headline Courtyard’s Baseball Heat Week

“Who you gonna call?”

With Halloween right around the corner, the Milwaukee Brewers are hoping for a spooky ending to the 2026 World Series. Up 3-0 against the Tampa Bay Rays, Brew Crew ace Jacob Misiorowski will certainly be bringing the heat in an attempt to close out the series.

Regardless of the outcome, Baseball Heat Week on Courtyard will be bringing a mix of Halloween fright and spicy pack delight for fans of America’s pastime to chase.

From Tuesday, October 27th through Monday, November 2nd, baseball card collectors can chase three Baseball Heat Week drops, each featuring graded and authenticated baseball cards straight from Courtyard’s fine-art-grade vault—with a 5% buyback boost on all pulls. It all starts with the Baseball Ghost Pack ($599), which features a 2018 Topps Chrome Shohei Ohtani rookie card valued at $9,554, followed by the Reaper and Inferno packs.

Inside the Baseball Ghost Pack: Ohtani Grails, Vintage Icons & Top Prospects

The Los Angeles Dodgers might have made an untimely exit from the MLB Postseason, ending their chance at a World Series three-peat, but Ohtani is still the cream of the baseball card crop—and with Courtyard’s Baseball Ghost Pack, the leadoff hitter in the Baseball Heat Week lineup you’ve got a chance to pull his rookie card.

2018 Topps Chrome #150 Shohei Ohtani – X-Fractor (BGS 9.5 GEM MINT)

The Dodgers star's rookie card is the top chase card in this pack, at least according to its estimated fair market value of $9,554. While the Brewers dashed LA’s dreams of another ring (for now), Ohtani’s in his prime, and collectors don’t seem dissuaded by the recent loss.

2018 Topps Chrome #150 Shohei Ohtani – Pitching (BGS 10 PRISTINE)

The Baseball Ghost Pack has not one, but two chances to chase Ohtani’s rookie card, which features the then-Angels pitcher on the mound. With an estimated FMV of $8,794, this BGS 10 Pristine slab is another reminder that the fearsome slugger is also a sight to behold on the mound, too.

2024 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autographs #CPALD Leo de Vries – Gold Refractor (PSA 10 GEM MINT)

Every MLB fan knows that there are few things more important than their team’s farm system. For fans of the Las Vegas Athletics (or holdover fans in Oakland), De Vries, MLB's # 2 overall prospect, is hope personified. The headliner in the package the A’s got for closer Mason Miller, the 19-year-old shortstop hit .290 with 13 home runs and 34 stolen bases at Double-A Midland this season before shoulder surgery cut his year short. Now, you’ve got an opportunity to get his Bowman rookie auto, and its FMV of $8,546.

1952 Bowman #101 Mickey Mantle (PSA 4 VG-EX)

Breaking the modern mold is this 1952 Mickey Mantle card that’s older than most baseball card collectors at 74 years old. One of the sport's all-time greats, this 1952 Bowman is valued at $8,537.

1954 Topps #128 Hank Aaron (SGC 4.5 VG-EX+)

Henry Aaron, who many now know as Hank Aaron, is another one of the game’s legends—and his rookie card is just as special as the hard-hitting right fielder’s 22 years in MLB. With a FMV of $8,433.00, it’s no surprise that this is one of the most important vintage baseball cards of all time.

Just missing the cut is a  2019 Bowman Chrome Prospect Auto Gold Refractor of Julio Rodriguez (PSA 10 GEM MINT), which carries a FMV of $8,013, and a 1989 Topps Traded Tiffany Ken Griffey Jr. (PSA 10 GEM MINT), with a FMV of $7,869. Talk about grails!

How Baseball Heat Week Works: Ghost, Reaper & Inferno Packs

The World Series is heating up, and so are the opportunities for baseball collectors to pull grail cards on Courtyard.

Baseball Heat week offers three packs, Ghost, Reaper, and Inferno, each offering boosted guaranteed buybacks and increasing ceilings for chase cards from the sports GOATS, like Shohei Ohtani, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, and Ken Griffey Jr., as well as highly-touted prospects like Leo de Vries.

No matter which you choose, you can count on Courtyard to have the graded, authenticated card stored within their vault when you pull it, giving you the option to keep it, flip it, or ship it. 

Whether you’re a spooky Halloween ghost or simply want to put Scovilles to the test, now’s the time for some October baseball magic on Courtyard.
