Pirates Offer Massive Bounty for Paul Skenes Rookie Card Featuring Home Plate Seats

Like modern-day Willy Wonkas, Topps has hidden a special Paul Skenes card in Chrome Update, available since Wednesday. In addition to having the only autograph on the first-of-its-kind rookie patch, the lucky person who finds the needle in a haystack will receive some nice perks from the Pittsburgh Pirates organization.

On Friday, they revealed that in exchange for taking this card “home” to PNC Park, the announcer would receive two Pirates season tickets behind home plate for the next 30 years, a 30-person softball game at baseball and spring training experience. including a meeting with Skenes, among other cool stuff.

Skenes’ incredible rookie season ended with him going 11-3 with a 1.96 ERA over 23 starts and 133 innings. He also set a franchise record as a rookie with 170 strikeouts and started in the All-Star Game for the National League. In a few days, he could win the National League Rookie of the Year award and the Cy Young.

Happy hunting.
