Just hours after fans began lining up outside Dodger Stadium for the first of four Shohei Ohtani bobblehead giveaways this season, the first batch hit eBay, with one selling for a high of $717.17 — appearing to be a nod to Ohtani’s No. 17.

That top sale came for a silver bat variant, which the seller claims is limited-edition.

Another fetched $600, while more than 100, mostly listed with the promotional graphic and labelled “resale,” sold for prices from $110 to $180.

The bobbleheads were given out to every fan in attendance for the game, which culminated in an Ohtani walk-off home run.

Last season, another Ohtani bobblehead giveaway including his dog, Decoy, saw similar action on the secondary market.

Some of the limited-edition gold variants sold for as high as $1,000 in the days after the August 2024 giveaway.
