REA launches Fixed Price Marketplace, signed Shohei Ohtani jersey tops initial offerings
REA has launched a new Fixed Price Marketplace that allows clients to consign graded and authenticated cards and memorabilia for sale at a fixed price.
The Marketplace’s first offering is a 2021 Shohei Ohtani Los Angeles Angels photo-matched, game-used home jersey that’s been signed in Kanji and inscribed “AL MVP 21” for the first of Ohtani’s three MVPs. The jersey is one of the finest Ohtani jerseys to come to market and was worn by the Japanese superstar during multiple games, including Sept. 21, when he hit his 45th home run of the season. The jersey includes MLB Authentication and photo-matching confirmation from Resolution Photomatching.

Fixed price sales offer a different dynamic compared to the competitive bidding of live auctions, providing some sellers with greater peace of mind and the control to sell at their desired price. Consignors are also in full control of when items are made available for sale.
Leveraging a “Buy It Now” model, consignors who submit items valued at $100 or more will benefit from a limited-time 5 percent fixed rate for their items. Items must be listed for a minimum of 30 days, after which consignors may pause or remove the item from the marketplace at any time prior to it being sold.
