2019 Topps Walmart Holiday Rare Photo Variations #HW33 Shohei Ohtani (In 2019 Topps got creatively festive with their short print variations from this set. Here's Ohtani packing some peppermint. I pulled this and a few other variations out of a big 10 for a dollar box at a card show back in January of this year. Remember when they had card shows?)
