Graded 2024 Topps Now Shota Imanaga #105 Rookie RC Baseball Card PSA 10 Gem Mint — The Perfect-Grade Topps Now Real-Time Rookie of the Chicago Cubs' Left-Handed Starting Pitcher From Nanao, Ishikawa, Japan, Who Brought His Split-Finger Fastball and NPB-Seasoned Approach to Wrigley Field and Became One of the Most Compelling Starting Pitching Stories of the 2024 MLB Season, Certified PSA 10 GEM MINT

⚾ The 2024 Topps Now Shota Imanaga #105 PSA 10 GEM MINT is the condition-perfect, professionally graded real-time Topps Now rookie card of the left-handed starting pitcher from Japan whose 2024 MLB debut with the Chicago Cubs produced the kind of first-season performance that made him one of the most discussed international pitching acquisitions in recent baseball memory. PSA 10 GEM MINT demands four perfectly sharp corners, flawless surfaces free of print defect or handling marks, centering within PSA's strictest specifications, and the eye appeal that earns the hobby's summit grade — on a Topps Now card, where the real-time limited-edition production format and the direct-to-consumer release window create a card whose PSA 10 population represents the fraction of the limited run that cleared the highest condition threshold upon grading.

⚾ Topps Now is the real-time card release format that Topps deploys in response to specific sporting events and milestones — cards produced and made available within 24-48 hours of the moment they document, with open-window ordering during a short period that determines each card's edition size. The format's event-specific nature makes each Topps Now card a direct timestamp of the moment it captures, and Imanaga's #105 in the 2024 Topps Now series documents a specific milestone from his debut season — a career moment recorded in the real-time format that the hobby has embraced for documenting the most significant individual achievements of each MLB season as they happen.

⚾ Shota Imanaga was born September 1, 1993, in Nanao, Ishikawa — a coastal city on the Noto Peninsula of Ishikawa Prefecture on the Sea of Japan coast, a region of Japan known for its traditional crafts, seafood culture, and the rugged coastline that defines the Noto landscape. Imanaga developed as a pitcher through the Japanese professional baseball system and spent his NPB career with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars — the Kanagawa-based franchise whose DeNA corporate backing has invested significantly in the organization's development infrastructure, and whose pitching culture contributed to the command and sequencing approach that Imanaga brought to the major leagues. His decision to sign with the Chicago Cubs before the 2024 season brought a pitcher whose split-finger fastball — the forkball-adjacent offering whose tumbling late movement creates one of the most difficult contact patterns in professional baseball — to the Wrigley Field rotation, where his debut season confirmed the evaluation that made the Cubs willing to invest in one of the most discussed Japanese starting pitchers to cross from NPB to MLB in the modern international player era.
