Description
2025 Topps Series 1 rookie card featuring Oakland Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz. The card features the 2025 Topps flagship design with a white border, 'KURTZ' in bold foil-like text at the top, and the Athletics logo at the bottom. Kurtz is pictured in his home white and green uniform in a left-handed batting stance.
Key Features
First flagship rookie card for the 2024 #4 overall draft pick; features the official MLB RC shield; cornerstone of the 2025 Topps set.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Card features correct 2025 Topps gloss, crisp font resolution, and standard card stock thickness. Counterfeits for base cards of this era are rare due to high production volume. The 2025 'S' in the Athletics logo is sharp.
Flaws to Note
Obvious centering bias toward the right side of the card. Minor edge wear on the left vertical side. Slight corner whitening on the bottom corners from handling without a sleeve.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for quick sale due to high traffic for new releases. Facebook Hobby groups or COMC are secondary options.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this specific copy due to the centering issues; the cost of grading will exceed the value of a PSA 8. List it immediately while the 2025 product is 'fresh' to capture peak collector interest. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader via eBay Standard Envelope ($0.69-$1.12) to keep shipping costs low for a sub-$20 card.
