Topps announced Tuesday that an 11-year-old collector from Los Angeles pulled the coveted 1-of-1 autographed MLB debut patch card of Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes.
The card, which was part of the 2024 Topps Chrome Update set, received a ton of attention when Topps first unveiled it back in November
Shortly after the card was first shown, the Pirates announced their desire to acquire it. Before it was even pulled, the Pirates proactively offered a package of perks in exchange for the card, including two Pirates season tickets behind home plate for 30 years, the chance to play in a softball game at PNC Park, a VIP experience at Pirates training camp, a meet and greet with Skenes and two Skenes autographed jerseys.
