Description
This is a custom-designed or "Art Card" featuring Nick Kurtz in an Oakland Athletics uniform, but utilizing the 2023 Topps Series 1 design with 'Arizona Diamondbacks 25th Anniversary' background logos (AZ). It features the Topps 75th Anniversary logo and the Gold Cup (All-Star Rookie) logo. Please note: This is not an official Topps-released card and was not found in packs.
Key Features
Nick Kurtz prospect card, custom 2023 Topps-style design, glossy finish, features the iconic Topps Rookie Cup logo.
Authenticity Indicators
Low confidence in official brand authenticity. This is a known 'Fantasy' or 'Custom' card. The 'AZ' logo background is for the Diamondbacks, but the player is an Oakland Athletic. Official Topps cards do not have such glaring design contradictions.
Flaws to Note
Visible chipping on the top right corner; bottom left edge appears rough; potential surface scratches from handling while out of a sleeve; design inconsistencies (player's team does not match background logo set).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (labeled as custom/art card), Etsy, or local Athletics/Wake Forest University fan groups.
Selling Tips
Always list this as a 'CUSTOM' or 'REPRO' or 'ART CARD' to avoid eBay policy violations for selling 'fakes.' Because it is not an official pack-pulled card, do not send it for grading. Use standard PWE (Plain White Envelope) for shipping due to low value.
