11-Year-Old Rejects $1 Million Offer for Rare Paul Skenes Card, Opts for Auction

The young collector plans to auction the 1/1 rookie card, with proceeds partially supporting LA wildfire relief efforts.

An 11-year-old collector from California pulled a one-of-a-kind Paul Skenes rookie card valued at nearly $1 million.
The Pittsburgh Pirates offered a 30-year season ticket package, signed merchandise, and a meet-and-greet with Skenes, which the child declined.
Olivia Dunne, gymnast and Skenes’ girlfriend, also offered an invitation to her private suite at a Pirates game, which was similarly rejected.
The card will be auctioned through Fanatics Collect, with a portion of the proceeds donated to LA wildfire relief charities.
The decision has sparked mixed reactions online, with many praising the child for prioritizing financial security over perks.
