As someone from Lancaster I absolutely love that they call him Big Amish

Lancaster is much more niche than the entirety of California for it to be a cheesy nickname

Calling someone from California “surfer boy” just for the hell of it would be cheesy

Aren’t the Amish good at cheese making?

NoName76 · 07-26-2025, 05:21 PM

I bought a Bowman first /150 auto 2 weeks ago for under $300 and it was authenticated and never mailed to me. Either lost in mail or someone at PSA stole it. It's literally 5x in value from when I bought it and I may never get it.

Sell Jac, buy Nic.

I've had the privilege of having been to Lan-cus-ter.

He doesn’t seem to mind it. Motions churning butter as a celebration. Who cares?

Cheese Kurtz?

finfangfan · 07-26-2025, 06:23 PM

He walked in first AB and scored a run. His AB hit streak is still alive… for now.

quackhead · 07-27-2025, 02:55 AM

This would be a nice card to have for a piece of baseball history.

imb4 · 07-27-2025, 08:24 PM

Can someone please summarize the sets he's in so far in 2025? I know he's in Chrome as a redemption auto.

I agree but his stuff is going nuts right now. Wish I picked up more before the eye of the storm hit.

That redemption is it other than Bowman

I don't own any of his stuff but you should definitely be able to buy cheaper if you're willing to wait for the offseason and things to cool off

Overheard someone at a card show this weekend say that what Kurtz has done in his first 60 games is in the top 5 or 10 of all time. I wasn't paying much attention so my numbers might be off but either way he is impressive so far.

If that’s how you felt then, I could only imagine how you felt on Friday. Oh well. When your mindset is to sell on a certain prospect, you have to take it as a win if you made any profit.

winstead · 07-30-2025, 12:57 PM

Didn't get a hit last night, what a bum!

I sold a Bowman 1st chrome Andy Pages blue refractor auto PSA 10 before the season started for $200. Whoops!
But seriously, the spring training headlines were more "Will Pages even make the Opening Day roster?" than "Will he have a breakout season?"

winstead · 08-16-2025, 08:00 AM

Nicky Nukes. He’s back. Still hitting >.300 and >1.000 OPS despite the HR drought.

elontusk1119 · 08-17-2025, 04:49 PM

Smashed HR #25.

Nick Kurtz last 30 games:

.414 BA (leads MLB)
.504 OBP (leads MLB)
11 HR
27 RBI

His 25 HR this season lead all rookies.

boxbuster7 · 08-17-2025, 05:00 PM

seems like he hit his first home run today since the 4 hr game

Pitchers been pitching around him, rightfully so after the monster game.

His OBP was still holding up, meaning he wasn't chasing anything. Already a great all-around hitter at 22.

Lately he is getting more pitches down in the middle, his 2nd HR in 3 games now.

Onepocketj · 08-17-2025, 07:47 PM

Been working on his Bowman Chrome #114 rainbow if anyone has any of the rarer ones. I think I'm up to 48 different ones so far out of the 63 non 1/1's.

Nick Kurtz now has higher BA (.313) than teammate Jacob Wilson (.312). Hit for power and average, slashing .313/.397/.645 with an 181 wRC+.
