A unique Paul Skenes autographed patch card has been found by an 11-year-old collector in Los Angeles, Topps announced Tuesday.
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 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.
