Shohei Ohtani fans are shelling out a ton of dough to get their hands on a super-rare version of the MLB superstar’s first Dodgers bobblehead … with folks dropping more than a thousand bucks for the giveaway.
40,000 fans were gifted the highly-coveted promotion ahead of Los Angeles’ home matchup against the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium on Thursday … with 1,700 bobbles coming in a special road uniform colorway.
A handful of spectators who got their hands on the limited edition handout quickly headed to reseller sites to cash in on their luck … and based on a quick search, it’s working out in their favor.
According to eBay, there have been several sales already … some reaching as high as $1,500.
Even the regular home uniform colorway is attracting a lot of interest … with those selling for hundreds.
It’s a silver lining for Dodgers fans willing to part ways with the mini Ohtanis … ’cause the home team stunk up the place in the 7-2 loss.
The man of the night went 0-2 with a walk and a strikeout in the contest.
Fans who missed out on the giveaway (or payday) will get a second swing at it in August … when the Dodgers host a second Ohtani bobblehead night.
