Why This Card Matters

**Nick Allen's whole case is the glove, and it is a real one.** In his 2025 season with Atlanta he was a **Rawlings Gold Glove finalist at shortstop**, ranking **fourth in the National League in Outs Above Average (17)**. He did not win it — Masyn Winn did — but finishing among the three best defensive shortstops in the league is the whole point of him. He was a **third-round pick by Oakland in 2017** who signed for $2 million and debuted on April 19, 2022. **This card documents his one season in Atlanta, and that makes it a one-year-only Braves card.** The Braves acquired him from the Athletics in November 2024, he played **135 games for them in 2025 — a career high** — and he moved on to Houston that November. Every Braves card of Nick Allen comes from this single season.

Verification & Centering

Verified **base**: plain white border with no colour band (which rules out the Team Color Border variation), no gold mirror foil, no rainbow or holo treatment, and **no serial numbering on any edge of either side**. 2025 Topps Update's base run is US1–US350 and US106 does not appear on the Golden Mirror Image or other base-variation lists. **No Rookie Card shield** — correct, since Allen's rookie year was 2022 with Oakland. Centering against the outer edge of the dark rounded photo panel — a reference validated against another card in this batch that uses the same design and measures 49/51: **57/43 left-to-right**, the print shifted right, and **49/51 top-to-bottom**, which is excellent. Corners are sharp, the white borders are clean and bright with no chipping, no creases, and the surface is clean. Nothing here reads as a scanner artifact. Back code CMP116184. **One unresolved note, disclosed rather than hidden:** one price-guide site lists this card as "Nick Allen **[Bats]** #US106". No source explains what that bracketed tag denotes, and every checklist consulted shows a single US106 with no image variation. Recorded here as unresolved.
