LIke modern-day Willy Wonkas, Topps has hidden a special Paul Skenes card in Chrome Update, which has been available since Wednesday. In addition to having the only rookie debut patch autograph of its kind, the lucky person who finds the needle in a haystack will be given some pretty sweet perks by the Pittsburgh Pirates organization.

On Friday they revealed that in exchange for bringing this card "home" to PNC Park, the presenter would be given two Pirates season tickets behind home plate for the next 30 years, a softball game for 30 at the ballpark, and a Spring Training experience including a meet-and-greet with Skenes among other cool stuff.
