Chase DeLauter Topps NOW #785: A Rookie Card for an October Breakthrough

Chase DeLauter's 2026 Topps NOW #785 has three details working together: the RC logo, the ALCS mark and an October 12 date. The photograph catches him moving in Cleveland's gray road uniform, with his eyes following the play. For a DeLauter collector, it ties a rookie-year card to a particular postseason performance rather than a general player portrait.

Seven total bases, preserved on the card

The front commemorates DeLauter becoming the third-youngest player with seven total bases in a postseason game. The reverse supplies the fuller story: a sixth-inning home run helped Cleveland begin its comeback in Game 1 against Tampa Bay, which the Guardians won 7–3. It records his age as 25 years and four days.

That combination gives #785 a clear place within a rookie collection. The front announces the milestone in one line; the back links it to the game, opponent and inning. The large Cleveland C, red-and-navy accents and postseason mark reinforce the team setting without shrinking the action photograph into a small window.

A disclosed run of 1,770

Topps records a print run of 1,770. The card's ordering window ran October 13–14, 2026, following the October 12 game. That separates the date printed on the card from the period in which Topps offered it.

The product's foil ladder lists Gold /50, Orange /25, Black /10, Red /5 and a 1/1 FoilFractor. Topps states that a parallel replaces the base card in an order. Those numbered versions provide distinct pursuits around the same image and milestone; the 1,770 figure alone doesn't establish a secondary-market value.

The companion from the same comeback

Nathaniel Lowe's #787 commemorates the go-ahead two-run single later in the same game. Together, the cards preserve different parts of Cleveland's comeback: DeLauter's individual seven-total-base performance and Lowe's decisive hit. DeLauter's RC logo adds a separate reason to choose #785 for a player collection.
