The Paul Skenes rookie card that baseball fans everywhere have been itching to get their hands on has just been found!!

Topps reported Tuesday morning an 11-year-old from Los Angeles pulled the ultra-rare 1-of-1 from a pack -- and now, the young collector will have some big decisions to make.

Card is likely worth 10s of millions and the pirates are offering the kid two tickets for 30 years

Yea I’d tell the pirates to frick off.

Hell family could probably make a quick 2/3 mill just by dumping it on eBay.

and with all due respect, to LIvvy Dunne. Sitting next to her at a Pirates game would not be worth giving over that card for

I'm gonna be that guy b/c this particular misuse of a word is a pet peeve of mine. Infamous is a negative. It does not apply here.

That's still not what infamous means. It's a completely incorrect use of the word.

I remember watching that movie with a bunch of guys as a teenager. We all just wanted to see Demi Moore titties. We didn’t care about the morality message of the movie whatever that was.

I'm selling it no matter what. No reason to hold on to it. Paul Skenes could ruin his knee tomorrow

Reminds me of when I refused to sell my Steve Francis rookie card for its listed value of $100 in 2000. Still have it somewhere and it’s prob worth a penny.


I’m glad some kid got the Skenes card and not some middle aged dweeb.
