Recent Sales
Minimal demand for non-licensed custom cards; similar custom novelty art cards typically sell for the cost of production or a few dollars to team collectors.
Condition Details
Visible surface scratches on the right side of the card face. Top-right corner shows slight softening. Centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. This is not an official MLB licensed product or an official Topps flagship release; major graders like PSA/SGC may not slab this specific custom item.
Card Description
Nick Kurtz (Oakland Athletics) is shown in a white home uniform with number 16. The design mimics the 1954 Topps layout, featuring a green border, the Athletics logo, and a Topps All-Star Rookie Cup. Note: 'Topps 75 Years' logo is visible in the top left, though the card depicts a 2024 draft pick.
Notable Features
Includes a Topps All-Star Rookie Cup logo, 75 Years of Topps logo, and uses the iconic 1954 design. This appears to be a high-quality custom or 'fan-made' card rather than a pack-pulled release.
Authentication Notes
The card has visible surface gloss but lacks the authentic MLB licensing logos typically found on Topps products. Font and logo placement suggest a custom-printed tribute or novelty card.
