A one-of-a-kind Paul Skenes baseball card has been sold for $1.11 million after a two-week auction.
There was a total of 64 bids on Skenes' debut patch card, which is autographed and contains a patch that was on the pitcher's jersey for his heralded major league debut in May.
The final price announced by Fanatics Collect late Thursday night included a 20% buyer's premium. The buyer was not identified. Fanatics Collect plans to donate its proceeds from the sale to the LA Fire Relief Fund.
The 22-year-old Skenes is slated to make $875,000 while in the major leagues this year with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
