Young Collector Nabs Rare Paul Skenes Card That Could Offer Him A Hefty Haul In Trade With Pirates

An 11-year-old collector in Los Angeles has scooped up a one-of-a-kind baseball card featuring National League Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes.

Topps announced Tuesday that the card, which features the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher's autograph and a patch from a game-worn jersey, had been found.

Now comes the fun part: seeing what it is worth on the open market.

The collector could get a massive haul if willing to trade it to the Pirates, who have put together a package that includes 30 years' worth of season tickets behind home plate at PNC Park in exchange for the card.

Skenes' girlfriend, LSU gymnast and influencer Livvy Dunne, is offering the card's owner the opportunity to take in a game with her in a luxury suite at the ballpark during one of Skenes' starts.
