Whoever finds Paul Skenes' rookie baseball card is in for a treat.
On November 13, Topps released Skenes' card, which celebrates his All-Star rookie season. The card is unique, meaning only a single lucky collector will get to own a copy if and when they get their hands on the correct pack.
Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Pirates are sweetening the pot. The Pirates are willing to make a trade for it -- and they're offering quite a bit.
Skenes' girlfriend, former LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, offered the person who found the card a chance to watch a game with her in her suite, and Late Night host Seth Meyers offered four tickets to his show to anyone who'd let him look at it.
While having a one-of-a-kind memento of one of baseball's brightest young pitchers is pretty great, season tickets for two for 30 years and a softball game at PNC Park is a lot to pass up. We'll see if a fan takes the Pirates up on their offer.
