Description
Featured here is a 2024 Donruss Baseball card of top Oakland prospect Nick Kurtz. The card features Kurtz in a left-handed batting follow-through wearing his green and gold collegiate-style uniform. The design utilizes a modern white border with green and yellow geometric accents consistent with the Oakland team colors. As an unlicensed Panini product, no MLB logos are present.
Key Features
First year card for the 2024 Oakland Athletics first-round draft pick (4th overall). Highly touted power-hitting prospect. Iconic Donruss 'Rated Rookie' style design though not labeled as such in this specific base subset.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card stock thickness, high-gloss finish, and crisp printing of the Donruss logo are consistent with Panini production. As a low-value base card, there is virtually no risk of counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Slight left-to-right centering bias. Minor edge roughness visible on the bottom right corner. Potential for surface dimples common in modern Donruss stock.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (using eBay standard envelope for cheap shipping) or Comc.com for long-term consignment. Not recommended for high-end auction houses due to base status.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are pursuing a registry set; the cost of grading will likely exceed the card's market value. Best sold in 'lots' with other Nick Kurtz or Oakland Athletics prospects to save on shipping. Use keywords like 'Oakland Athletics', '1st Round Pick', and 'Wake Forest' to attract buyers.
