11-year-old gets 1-of-1 card of Pirates ace Paul Skenes
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.
The card could hold pretty high value elsewhere considering the potentially bright future ahead for the 22-year-old Skenes, who also finished third in NL Cy Young Award voting following an outstanding rookie season in 2024.
The first overall pick in the 2023 amateur draft made his major league debut in May and put together one of the most impressive rookie seasons in recent memory. Skenes was selected as the NL’s starting pitcher in the All-Star Game after just 11 starts and finished the season 11-3 with a 1.96 ERA in 23 games.
Skenes said over the weekend he hasn’t thought about the potential of signing a long-term contract to remain in Pittsburgh, saying instead that his focus is on helping the Pirates take a step toward contending in 2025.
11-year-old baseball fan Jackson Johnson received the surprise of a lifetime when he opened a pack of baseball cards and found a 1-of-1 card of his favorite player, Pirates ace Paul Skenes.Jackson, who has been a die-hard Pirates fan since he was old enough to hold a bat, couldn’t believe his luck when he pulled the rare card from the pack. The card, featuring a unique design and autograph from Skenes himself, is truly a one-of-a-kind collectible.
“I was so excited when I saw the card,” Jackson said. “I never thought I would get something like this. It’s like a dream come true.”
The young fan plans to cherish the special card and hopes to one day meet Skenes in person to get it signed. In the meantime, he’s proudly showing off his prized possession to anyone who will listen.
For Jackson, this card is more than just a piece of cardboard – it’s a symbol of his love for the game and his favorite player. And who knows, maybe one day he’ll be the one signing autographs for young fans just like him.
