11-Year-Old Finds $1M Paul Skenes Rookie Card, Pirates Make Trade Offer

The unique autographed card, featuring a game-worn patch, has sparked interest from collectors and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The 1-of-1 Paul Skenes MLB debut patch card, featuring his autograph and a game-worn jersey patch, was pulled by an 11-year-old in Los Angeles.
The card, part of the 2024 Topps Chrome Update set, is estimated to be worth up to $1.5 million at auction.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have offered a package including 30 years of season tickets, autographed jerseys, and exclusive experiences in exchange for the card.
Skenes' girlfriend, LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, added an incentive by offering the cardholder a chance to sit with her in a luxury suite during a Pirates game.
Skenes, the 2024 NL Rookie of the Year, had a standout season with an 11-3 record, 1.96 ERA, and 170 strikeouts, boosting the card's value.
