Paul Skenes' Topps Rookie Debut Patch autographed card found by 11-year-old collector
Briefly

The 2024 Topps Chrome Update Rookie Debut Patch autograph card of Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes was pulled by an 11-year-old collector from Los Angeles, drawing enormous interest from collectors since its release. The Pirates and Skenes' girlfriend offered enticing rewards, including long-term season tickets and personal game experiences, to persuade the young collector to part ways with the card. The card, part of an innovative MLB Debut Patch series by Fanatics, symbolizes the growing appeal and value of modern sports memorabilia.
Collectors have been hunting for Skenes' unique rookie patch autographed card ever since the release of the 2024 Topps Chrome Update set dropped in November.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have offered a package that includes two season tickets behind home plate at PNC Park for 30 years and a host of other unique experiences.
To the lucky person who finds this card, we'd love to bring this card home to PNC Park to share with all Buccos fans.
The MLB Debut Patch, which was first introduced last year, has been one of Fanatics' most prominent innovations since acquiring Topps.
