Call it a Yinzer version of Willie Wonka’s golden ticket.

Pittsburgh Pirates fans are on the hunt for a one-of-a-kind autographed Paul Skenes rookie debut baseball card — and its owner could receive season tickets at PNC Park behind home plate for 30 years among other prizes. Claiming the prize would mean turning the card over to the Pirates.

The pitcher’s card can be found in one pack of newly released Topps Chrome Update series baseball cards, according to Topps on X. The cards were released this week, so someone might already have the card.

The person who finds the card and gives it to the Pittsburgh Pirates will receive a list of prizes. Here’s the full offer:

  • Two pirates season tickets behind home plate for the next 30 years
  • A softball game for 30 at PNC Park and coaching from Pirates alumni
  • A spring training experience including a private tour of Pirates City and LECOM Park, a meet-and-greet with Paul Skenes, two Paul Skenes autographed jerseys, batting practice/warm up with the team and more

“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,” the Pirates said via X.

Livvy Dunne, Skenes’ girlfriend, raised the stakes on X following the announcement, saying she would offer the person a chance to sit with her in her suite during a game.

The new Topps Chrome series was released on Wednesday, according to Fanatics Live, and all boxes and cases are sold out already, according to the Topps website.
