Hyeseong Kim just hit the first big milestone of what could be a long and exciting MLB career—and Topps Now is making sure collectors have a way to capture the moment forever. In Tuesday’s game against the Oakland Athletics, Kim smashed his first major league home run, a 385-foot solo shot in the third inning that helped the Dodgers cruise to a 9–3 win. Now, just one day later, fans and collectors can pick up a limited-edition Topps Now card celebrating the achievement—with a twist that’s making serious waves: Kim's very first official autograph card is in the mix.
The card drop is live now on Topps.com and available for only 24 hours. As usual with Topps Now, there’s a base version anyone can order for $11.99—but this isn’t just a print-to-order release. This time, Topps is adding chase elements, including parallels, short prints, and a selection of ultra-limited autographs. Most notable of all is a single 1-of-1 inscribed autograph card signed by Kim with the words “First Home Run.” It’s his first-ever signed card, and it will be randomly awarded to one lucky buyer via redemption.
In total, there are 16 autographs to be found in this release. Alongside the 1/1 inscribed version, there are autographs numbered to /10 and /5—adding a thrill for collectors who decide to rip a few packs or buy in bulk.
Beyond the autos, this Topps Now moment includes multiple parallel versions of the base card, offering even more ways to land something special. The five foil parallels are:
- Gold Foil /50
- Orange Foil /25
- Black Foil /10
- Red Foil /5
- FoilFractor 1/1
Kim’s hot start to his rookie campaign has already made him a name to watch. In just 11 games with the Dodgers, he’s batting .360 with three RBIs and a rock-solid .840 OPS. The power is starting to show up now too, and Topps wasted no time in giving this rising star his first major cardboard moment.
Purchase options follow the standard Topps Now tiered structure:
- Single card for $11.99
- Five cards for $49.99
- Ten cards for $89.99
- Twenty cards for $169.99
