Whoever finds Paul Skenes’ rookie baseball card is in for a treat.
On November 13, Topps released Skenes’ card, which celebrates his All-Star rookie season. The card is unique, meaning only a single lucky collector will get to own a copy if and when they get their hands on the correct pack.
Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Pirates are sweetening the pot. The Pirates are willing to make a trade for it — and they’re offering quite a bit.
To the lucky person who finds this card… We’d love to bring this card home to PNC Park to share with all Buccos fans.

Skenes’ girlfriend, former LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, offered the person who found the card a chance to watch a game with her in her suite, and Late Night host Seth Meyers offered four tickets to his show to anyone who’d let him look at it.
Let’s raise the stakes…the person who finds the card can sit with me at a Pirates game in my suite https://t.co/WZTk5SxHW5

While having a one-of-a-kind memento of one of baseball’s brightest young pitchers is pretty great, season tickets for two for 30 years and a softball game at PNC Park is a lot to pass up. We’ll see if a fan takes the Pirates up on their offer.
