2025 Topps Now Nick Kurtz #787 Gold Foil /50 Athletics Rookie RC Baseball Card — The Serial-Numbered /50 Gold Foil Parallel of Topps Now #787 Featuring the Number One Overall Pick in the 2024 MLB Draft in His First Professional Season

⚾ Nick Kurtz was the consensus best player in the 2024 MLB Draft — the first baseman from Wake Forest University whose left-handed swing, advanced feel for contact, and power projection made him the player that the Oakland Athletics selected first overall when they held the top pick. Being the number one overall pick in the MLB Draft is its own statement about a player's standing in the amateur evaluation community: every team in baseball had the same information about every available player, and when the selection came down to one player, Kurtz was it. The Athletics, rebuilding and planning their roster around the next chapter of the franchise's history, identified him as the player they wanted at the center of that future.

⚾ The first baseman position has produced some of the game's most celebrated hitters, and Kurtz's left-handed swing draws the kind of comparisons to successful left-handed first basemen that evaluators make when they believe a prospect's bat will translate at the highest level. His contact ability — the rate at which he puts the ball in play with quality contact rather than swinging through pitches — was what separated him from other power-first prospects in the 2024 class. A first overall pick who makes contact and hits for power is the combination that first baseman evaluations are built around, and Kurtz's college production validated that combination at the amateur level.

Gold Foil /50 — Serial-Numbered Parallel

✨ The Gold Foil parallel in the Topps Now format is limited to just 50 copies — each one serial-numbered, each one uniquely identified within the /50 print run. The base Topps Now cards are produced in a quantity determined by actual orders placed during the card's availability window, but the Gold Foil parallels are capped at 50 regardless of demand. Fifty copies exist of this specific Gold Foil Kurtz card. Card #787 in the 2025 Topps Now set documents a specific moment in Kurtz's first professional season — released within days of the achievement it captures, in the real-time format that makes Topps Now a current-season document rather than a retrospective set.

⚾✨ Nick Kurtz. 2025 Topps Now. #787. Gold Foil /50. Athletics. Rookie RC. Hall of Fame Sports Memorabilia. Condition: NOS.
