Hey all, might wanna get on trying to find the Pail Skenes debut patch rookie card
November 15, 2024
The Pirates have put out this bounty for the Paul Skenes Debut patch rookie auto card #1/1 from Topps Chrome Update. That's a huge price from them. Even if it's seats in the 100 level behind home plate, those alone would be over $130,000.

Thanks for sharing, that’s a pretty incredible reward but what do we know would be the value of the card through an auction sale? Has anyone estimated?
Too low of an offer. They should make that person the new owner of the team
Holy shit that’s a wild offer to make. That makes me want to start buying card packs just to see if I can win that.
Pail.
Bob already has it and is just trying to win PR points
I sincerely hope Topps fucked up and put this in a regular pack that’s sitting in some dollar general right now instead of streamlining hits to breakers.
Also fuck Bob Nutting. I hope the card is never found if it means it won’t be in his grimy hands.
Can someone post a link to the exact packs I’d have to buy to possible get one of these? There are just so many versions of cards …
The only trade I’d take is Bob selling the team. If he sold the team I’d donate the card to the Pirates and write it off on my taxes.
I was on the team that did photo and video for the Jackson Chourio auto on his debut rookie card. They said that would most likely got for around 1 mill. This seems like a low offer unless you are a pirates die hard. If I pull it, I’d give skenes the option to buy it, and then it goes on the open market. You can busy season tickets for life with what you’d get for it.
oh no, you pull it and then make a deal deal with skenes. I bet he will be more than happy to give up money, signed crap, more signed crap, extra signed crap, more money and even more money when he wins the Cy Young.
I figure that card will go for about $750k-1.2m and that also assumes it will grade out at PSA 10. Probably some 7 year old will get it, mangle it and put it in a drawer somewhere. There are a ton of ‘bounty cards’ still out there from the early 2000’s.
Livvy Dunne just offered you can sit with her in her suite also.
If you’re hunting there are a ton of Skenes in update this year. This is the card number and it will say 1/1 RDPA-PS. Your best odds of winning one is MLB-CHROME UPDATES 2024 BREAKER DELIGHT HOBBY DISTRIBUTOR at 1:446 and the worst is 5981 – MLB-CHROME UPDATES 2024 MEGA BOX SET at 1:336,040.
Just don’t think you got it until you check it. I also bet they put it into a normal pack.
I won’t compare what the Pirates fare offering to its value, because I have no idea the ballpark of its value; however, based on most of the offers other teams give fans for milestone balls, its quite an amazing offer from the cheap Pirates. The experiences are all great, and for the worst seats there, you’re talking $300k before inflation. Inflation example, my partial season tickets went up $30 a seat for centerfield partial season tickets.
Most of those big milestone balls get offers like a signed ball or bat. So I’d call this significant in relation.
This is an interesting offer. The experience of playing a game there is once in a lifetime.
However, this card will guaranteed be monetarily worth more than everything listed…times two.
As another commenter mentioned, keep the card, hit up Skenes and make a deal with him.
