World Series Showdown: Dodgers vs Yankees, But Collectors Just Care About the Cards

Image
    In what should be the pinnacle of baseball’s historic rivalry, the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees are set to face off in a highly anticipated World Series. Fans are gearing up for a showdown between two of the most storied franchises in Major League Baseball. But let’s be honest—most people don’t care who wins. What they really care about? The sports cards. With Shohei Ohtani now suiting up for the Dodgers and Aaron Judge still holding down the fort for the Yankees, collectors across the globe are ignoring the games and frantically refreshing eBay listings, desperate to secure the latest cardboard gems featuring their favorite players mid-strikeout or maybe chewing gum in the dugout. “I Haven’t Watched a Game Since 2019,” Admits Collector “I mean, sure, it’s cool that the Dodgers and Yankees are playing,” said Greg Martin, a lifelong Yankees fan who has meticulously avoided watching any actual baseball since discovering sports card trading. “But did you see that ...

What started as a tribute to his historic two-way skills has now turned into something bordering on the absurd. Every time Ohtani even breathes in a Dodgers jersey, Topps is ready to drop another card. “We couldn’t resist,” said a Topps spokesperson, while casually unboxing the 348th Ohtani Topps NOW release of the season. “Fans demand it, and Shohei’s done a lot since joining the Dodgers.

Shohei Batting   In a move that left jaws dropping faster than a poorly caught foul ball, baseball sensation Shohei Ohtani has inked a staggering $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. While many thought the term "million-dollar arm" was reserved for pitchers, Ohtani has taken it a step further, proving that a multi-million-dollar arm, leg, and everything in between can be a reality.   The announcement came in a press conference where Ohtani, surrounded by stacks of cash and a live jazz band playing his walk-up song, casually signed the deal with a golden pen encrusted with diamonds. The Dodgers' front office, now officially bankrupt, reportedly sold the office coffee machine to cover the signing bonus.   As if a $700 million contract wasn't enough to turn heads, Ohtani and the Dodgers have partnered to revolutionize the sports card market. Each Shohei Ohtani baseball card will now come with its own tiny, custom-designed limousine. Yes, you read that righ...
