Price History and Market Trend
At $562.64, this listing gives one current price point, but the exact match history is still too thin for a responsible six month trend calculation.
What Makes This Listing Specific
For collectors comparing copies, this listing should be judged as the specific 2017 NA Shohei Ohtani card SJ 06 and not simply as another Shohei Ohtani card. The listing provides useful identifiers including set NA, card number SJ 06, parallel NA and manufacturer Calbee.
Those identifiers matter because cards from the same player can have very different supply, collector interest and prices when the set, card number, parallel or grade changes. As a current era card, it should be compared with cards from the same release whenever possible.
Where This Card Fits in the Hobby
This card has a clear place in the player's hobby story. Shohei Ohtani has unusual hobby demand because collectors follow both his elite hitting and pitching, with interest crossing MLB, Japanese and international releases. The 2017 NA release gives this card a specific place in the player's collecting timeline, which helps narrow meaningful price comparisons.
Finding the Right Sales Comparisons
A reliable comp search should match the card first and the player second. That keeps common cards, parallels and different grades from being blended together. For this listing, try to match year 2017, set NA, card number SJ 06, parallel NA and similar raw condition.
Completed sales usually deserve more weight than unsold asking prices. If only active listings are available, treat the range as seller expectations rather than a confirmed market value. Compare the current USD 562.64 ask with that matched group rather than with a broad search for every Shohei Ohtani card.

Condition Review Before You Buy
For a raw copy, zoom in on the front and back photos before buying. Check centering, all four corners, edge wear, surface scratches, print lines, dents and any marks that may be hard to see in a single photo. Ask for additional images when an important area is hidden by glare or a sleeve.
For a modern card, inspect glossy surfaces carefully because scratches, dimples, print lines and small edge defects can be easier to miss in listing photos. Chrome style and foil finishes can show flaws differently depending on lighting. eBay currently labels the listing condition as Ungraded, but the photos and grading information should carry more weight than the marketplace condition field alone.
Grading Notes and Condition Risks
Common reasons a card from this type of issue can grade lower include centering on the front and back, corner sharpness and edge wear and surface scratches, print lines, dents or stains.
For numeric context, PSA publishes an approximate PSA 10 centering tolerance of 55/45 on the front and 75/25 on the reverse. PSA describes a Mint 9 as centered no worse than 60/40, so a small centering shift can be enough to separate a 9 from a 10 even before surface, corner and edge flaws are considered.
PSA grading standards. Population figures change as additional cards are graded.
Value Factors to Compare
The asking price is only one data point. A useful value check for 2017 NA Shohei Ohtani card SJ 06 starts with the details that make one copy comparable with another. The current listing is asking USD 562.64, so these factors are the best starting point for checking that ask against other copies.
- The 2017 release and how much collector demand exists for that year.
- Demand for the NA set compared with other issues of the same player.
- Whether comparable sales match card number SJ 06.
- The exact NA parallel rather than the base version.
- The raw condition shown in the photos, including centering, corners, edges and surface.
- The listed card features, especially Hologram.
Buying Notes for This Card
The listing gives us a few useful card details. Sport is listed as Baseball, team is listed as Samurai Japan, parallel is listed as NA and features include Hologram. For an ungraded card, spend some time with the photos. Centering, edge wear, corners and surface marks can make a big difference in value.
Where This Card Can Fit in a Collection
A collector building a focused Shohei Ohtani collection can use the exact year and set to decide whether this card fills a missing release, grade or parallel. The NA set gives this copy a clear place to compare against other cards from the same product.
Before buying, decide whether you want the exact card shown, the best condition you can afford, or simply one representative copy. That decision can keep you from paying a premium for a grade, parallel or feature that does not matter to your collection. Because this listing is identified as the NA version, make sure that variation is the one you actually want rather than a base card that may be easier to find.
Resale and Listing Considerations
If you may resell 2017 NA Shohei Ohtani card SJ 06 later, save the purchase record and keep the card protected from new wear. Clear documentation makes it easier to describe exactly what you own when you create a future listing.
A strong resale listing should make the card easy to identify. Include the exact release details, honest condition information and enough photos for a buyer to judge corners, edges, centering and surface. The current listing is from seller km_japanshop with feedback shown as 100.0% positive, 1,011 feedback, which gives you one example of how the card is being presented today. The current buying format is Buy It Now, so remember that auction results and fixed asking prices are not directly interchangeable when you review future comps.
