The young collector who acquired a unique baseball card featuring National League Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes has declined a trade offer from the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 11-year-old from the Los Angeles area decided to put the card, which includes Skenes' autograph and a patch from a game-worn jersey, up for auction instead of accepting the Pirates' proposal.
The Pirates' offer included 30 years' worth of season tickets behind home plate at PNC Park and the opportunity to play a softball game on the field in exchange for the prized card. Additionally, Skenes' girlfriend, LSU gymnast and influencer Livvy Dunne, extended an invitation for the card's owner to enjoy a game with her in a luxury suite at the ballpark during one of Skenes' starts.
