Pirates offer huge trade for rare Paul Skenes baseball card
Earlier this week, Topps, a trading card company, released a baseball card of Pittsburgh Pirates rookie pitcher Paul Skenes.
And whoever comes into possession of that card has a chance to exchange it for a haul of goodies courtesy of the Pirates.
Though it is nowhere near the trade deadline, the Pirates want to wheel and deal so they can display the card for the fans at PNC Park.
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.

Here is some of what the Pirates are offering: Seats behind home plate at PNC Park for the next 30 years, an exclusive meet-and-greet with Skenes and two autographed Skenes jerseys, and a chance to host a softball game at the ballpark.

Even Skenes’ girlfriend, LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, got in on the action, saying the winner would get a chance to sit with her in a suite.
Skenes, a finalist for National League Rookie of the Year and Cy Young Award, went 11-3 with a 1.96 ERA and 170 strikeouts this season.
