Pittsburgh Pirates are offering an outrageous trade for a one-of-a-kind Paul Skenes baseball card



CNN

Are the Pittsburgh Pirates turning into the Willy Wonka of Major League Baseball?

Just like Wonka’s famous golden ticket, the MLB team is offering a mouth-watering prize prize in exchange for a rare, one-of-a-kind baseball card of their star pitcher Paul Skenes. Whoever finds the card will be seduced by a delicious proposal.

The team’s outrageous offering is highlighted by the winner, dubbed the “Charlie Bucket” of the sweepstakes, who will gain access to coveted seats behind home plate at PNC Park for the next 30 years!

The lucky recipient will also receive an exclusive meet-and-greet with Skenes and two autographed Skenes jerseys, plus the opportunity to host a softball game with 30 of the winner’s favorite people at PNC Park.

Baseball fans around the world will be on the hunt for an autographed Topps Chrome card featuring an MLB debut patch on the jersey Skenes wore in his first big league game on May 11, 2024.

In addition to the Pirates’ eye-catching offer, Skenes’ girlfriend, Livvy Dunne, has upped the ante with an offer of her own. The social media superstar posted Friday that she would host the winner for a game in her suite.

Topps says it goes through a rigorous authentication process that follows the MLB debut patch from the playing field to the baseball card.

The card features a clear plastic window through which collectors can view the MLB hologram, ensuring the patch’s authenticity.

For those who are lucky, the Skenes card in question is hidden in a package of 2024 Topps Chrome Update, which is available in stores now.
