Thank you for viewing. This is a Topps Now card issued to commemorate Tatsuya Imai's signing with the Houston Astros on January 5, 2026. He is the first Japanese player to join the Astros directly from the NPB, and this valuable card captures the historic moment when he signed a large contract of $54 million over 3 years (with a potential of $63 million), attracting significant attention. 【Product Details】 Product Name: 2026 Topps Now Tatsuya Imai #OS-12 Team: Houston Astros Brand: TOPPS Series: Topps Now 2026 Card Number: OS-12 Features: NPB ALL-STAR HURLER INKS DEAL WITH ASTROS, International F/A Signing Imai was formerly a pitcher for the Saitama Seibu Lions.
