Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge made history in 2025, and Topps is ready to celebrate it.

Ohtani and Judge were named the National and American League MVPs, respectively, on Thursday, which marked the first time ever that both MVPs were won by the same people in consecutive seasons.

In celebration of the accomplishment, Topps released a 1-of-1 dual autograph card that will surely be highly coveted in the memorabilia world:

At this point, there isn’t much left to say about Ohtani that hasn’t already been said. He is a unicorn type of player who excels as both a hitter and a pitcher at a level never truly seen before in the history of the sport.

This MVP marks the fourth of his illustrious career and his second straight with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He also helped lead the team to back-to-back World Series titles while slashing .282/.392/.622 with 55 home runs, 102 RBI and 20 stolen bases.

Just for good measure, Ohtani posted a 2.87 ERA as a pitcher as well.

As for Judge, he is arguably the best pure hitter in the sport and took home the third AL MVP of his career. Now that Ohtani is in the National League, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the same two players continue to take home these MVP awards for years to come.

He led the league in batting average (.331), on-base percentage (.457), slugging percentage (.688), runs scored (137), walks (124), WAR (9.7), total bases (372) and OPS+ (215), per Baseball Reference.

It was an unbelievable individual effort for the New York Yankees star, who continues to etch his name in the history book for one of the most iconic franchises in all of sports.
