Topps Holiday Baseball Top Sales 2016–2022: $10,980 Ohtani Auto Leads
A Card Ladder-based list reportedly names the top recorded sale for each Topps Holiday baseball set from 2016 to 2022, led by a 2018 Shohei Ohtani auto at $10,980. The figures are reported and not confirmed by Topps.
A list built on Card Ladder data reportedly names the top recorded sale for each Topps Holiday baseball set from 2016 to 2022. The highest price among those years is $10,980, paid for a 2018 Shohei Ohtani rookie autograph numbered 5/5. Topps has not confirmed any of these figures, so treat them as reported.
Topps issued its first Holiday baseball set in 2016. The line has since reached other sports, after Fanatics acquired the license to print those cards.
Holidays sets are known for hidden elves, image variations and short prints. Mega boxes hold plenty of cards at a low cost.

Topps Holiday Baseball Context for 2026
This list follows TCGKing's earlier report that 2026 Topps Holiday Baseball was reportedly set for an estimated October 21, 2026 release in Mega Box, Tin and Advent Calendar formats.
Ohtani also leads elsewhere in the market, with an MVP auto patch /1 topping the weekly top 5 sales.
What it means for collectors
- Ohtani accounts for four of the five top sales from 2018 to 2022, and his 2018 card is the highest sale in the years covered.
- Some Card Ladder values differ from the last sale price, such as the 2019 card at $7,350 against a $4,391 sale.
- The $60,000 Acuna figure is an asking price, not a completed sale.
What is still unknown
- Top sales for 2023 and later Holiday sets are not given. A 2023 1-of-1 Ohtani Relics Gold Metallic card is the next entry, but its details are not provided.
- No new product or release date is announced.
