Unique Paul Skenes autographed baseball card found by young collector will go to auction
The unique Paul Skenes Topps card could bring a giant prize haul to one collector in Los Angeles. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II) A unique Paul Skenes autographed patch card found by an 11-year-old collector in Los Angeles will go to auction, Topps announced on Friday.
The 1/1 rookie debut patch card of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher and 2024 NL Rookie of the Year was part of Topps’ 2024 Chrome Update set, which was released in November. The highly sought card, which has since been graded a perfect 10, is one of the more valuable pieces in the collection — so much so that Skenes’ own team put up a bounty if it was found.
After the set was released, the Pirates announced that whoever found the Skenes card would be eligible for prizes. Included in their offer was two Pirates season tickets behind home plate for 30 years, the ability to host a softball game with team alumni for 30 people at PNC Park, and a spring training experience that includes meeting Skenes, taking batting practice at the team facility and two autographed Skenes jerseys.
Skenes’ girlfriend, LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne, added to the haul by offering the winner a spot in her suite during a Pirates game.
On Friday, Topps announced that the collector, whose identity has not been revealed, declined the Pirates’ offer and will instead put the card up for auction. All proceeds that Fanatics Collector takes from the card’s sale will be donated to Los Angeles fire relief funds.
The Pirates did extend an invite to bring the collector to Pittsburgh this season for a “special day” at PNC Park.
Skenes, 22, is one of the best young players in MLB and will be a key part of the Pirates’ rotation going forward. His rookie campaign was one to remember, with the 22-year-old pitching 133 innings with 170 strikeouts and a 1.96 ERA. He was also the starting pitcher for the National League in the 2024 All-Star Game.
I recently stumbled upon a one-of-a-kind Paul Skenes autographed baseball card while rummaging through my collection, and I couldn’t believe my luck! This rare find is sure to catch the eye of avid collectors and fans of the legendary baseball player.I have decided to put this unique piece up for auction, giving others the chance to own a piece of sports history. The autographed card is in pristine condition, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
Whether you’re a die-hard Skenes fan or simply appreciate the beauty of a rare collectible, this auction is not to be missed. Stay tuned for more details on how you can place your bid on this incredible find!

The young collector who scored a one-of-a-kind baseball card featuring National League Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes has turned down a trade offer from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Topps announced Friday that the 11-year-old from the Los Angeles area had declined the deal and instead was going to put the card — which features Skenes’ autograph and a patch from a game-worn jersey — up for auction.
The Pirates had put together a package that included 30 years’ worth of season tickets behind home plate at PNC Park and the chance to play a softball game on the field in exchange for the card.
Skenes’ girlfriend, LSU gymnast and influencer Livvy Dunne, also offered 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.
While the collector wrote in a journal entry shared by Topps that nabbing the card was a “ dream come true,” that dream apparently did not include spending the next three decades attending games at PNC Park.
The team posted on X after the decision that it was “bummed” but offered to have the fan at a game sometime during the 2025 season.
Fanatics Collect, which will handle the auctioning of the card in March, said it will donate its proceeds from the sale to fire relief funds in the Los Angeles area.
The card could hold pretty high value considering the potentially bright future ahead for the 22-year-old Skenes, who finished third in NL Cy Young Award voting following a outstanding rookie season.
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 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. He is eligible for free agency after the 2029 season.
