A rare rookie card that could net over $1 million was recently found by an 11-year-old from California, sparking excitement among collectors. The card in question is a Pittsburgh Pirates Paul Skenes 1/1 Rookie Debut Patch Autograph, known for its scarcity and desirability.
The young kid originally approached LSU gymnastics influencer Livvy Dunne for a trade, offering to exchange the card for her services during a meet-and-greet. However, Pirates themselves later offered a deal involving season tickets, autographed jerseys, and a chance to meet Skenes. Despite the generous offer, the unidentified child from Los Angeles reportedly wasn’t interested.
In response, Dunne doubled down on her offer, stating her commitment to entice the rare cardholder with an even more elaborate proposal. The card remains highly sought after due to its unique signature and patch.
Skenes, 22, has a stellar reputation as the National League Rookie of the Year and is known for his relationship with Dunne, who has supported him at her LSU meets in the offseason. Even if the card remains unsold, the young fan now has another elite baseball card from Skenes as a gift on his 22nd birthday.
The surprising twist? The young kid has already rejected Dunne’s latest offer, leaving her with yet another opportunity to win over this rare collector.
