Why This Paul Skenes Rookie Card Could Be Worth MILLIONS

[@brentshealer7314]

As a Pirates fan, I’ve already sat through 30 years of trash baseball, I in no way would want 30 more forced onto me when I could’ve gotten paid instead. Easy sell of the card for me

[@snerdterguson]

How much do season tickets run? Because unless they're non transferable, I would assume that they sell for a fairly significant number since they now have at least one must see player. And with the way economies in general work, the season tickets will only increase in price. Pretty sure you would get more money if you took the Pirates offer. Then you could sell one of the jerseys. You would have all that money, plus a Paul Skenes signed jersey. Plus, sitting next to Livvy Dunne for a few hours seems like something worth doing.

[@rdj3video]

I look forward to every couple weeks trying to sell 2 Wednesday getaway day game tickets online for the next 30 years because I’m 2,127 miles away from the Jolly Roger.

[@billfarley528]

I'll take the autographed jerseys, sell the tickets and take a weekend with Livvy.

[@GrandFinaleeCollectibles]

I will exchange it for a $2 million, 1 year deal as a pitcher with the Pirates. They have to teach me to pitch and if I'm good enough, I can start a few games. 😆. That way, I get the money and my own Rookie patch auto

[@brooklyndy]

I wonder how many of these cases are being CT scanned as we speak...

[@frankcastle3971]

Yeah it's become a joke because it's going to be certain breakers who have been hitting all the other 1/1 cards that are worth a ton of money. Someone who is sponsored by Topps and Fanatics who get loaded boxes all the time will hit it. Most likely it will be hit by The Backyard girls or Layton Sports Cards.

[@williamdunlapwaxnews]

A ton. I think backyard ct scans boxes for the breaks and sells the crap as domes. Funny grant calls out the hits all the time. They keep the good boxes for breaks for hype so people keep buying.

[@sunny8784]

100000% being scanned, only ones being sold are the ones that dont show the debut patches

[@LaTortugaCards]

🔥🔥 thumbnail

[@jwiedle86]

I saw a Pittsburgh card shop post they are offering $250k for the card, and $350k if it’s pulled at their shop

[@commonsenseisntcommon1776]

She is so gorgeous and talented

[@rockiesinoctober]

I would love to have to make this decision.

[@anonymoustraveler9746]

Auction right away! Holding on to it will be too risky, you'll never know with these pitchers.

[@carriagecrestkid5626]

That box scanning company is going to get a lot of business

[@huskyjerk]

Expand on this idea

[@superman04p]

I can imagine what it would be like sitting in the suite with Livvy... listening to her talk about her boyfriend Paul the whole game .... LoL

[@hockeynut06]

Even if I was a Pirates fan I wouldn't take their offer.

[@Barrett619]

Zero desire to sit next to livvy dunne

[@commonsenseisntcommon1776]

I will 😍😍😍

[@henrys3629]

Who's Livvy Dunne?

[@rmzlife]

It's he girlfriend.

[@incupamestadtemptatur3383]

I would sell it with Goldin I think it would sell for a million or so with the hype.

[@four9ines]

Exactly what I’d do.

[@dsphillips16]

Sit with Livvy in her personal suite? I’d rather sit in the clubhouse with the players.

[@godisgreat8462]

Well done

[@ftball1713]

I have seen several versions of the Topps 24 Chrome packs. How do you know if you are getting a pack that may have the Skene's card?

[@chasejackson7248]

550 to 1000 dollars is behind home plate at the Atlanta braves field, so even at pirates stadium 200 sounds low.

[@rdj3video]

My daughter has an MRI on her knee this week. If only I could afford to bring along a case of Topps Chrome Update.

[@Gram72534]

I saw a card shop , I think in Pittsburg, they were offering $250,000.⁰⁰. you could buy everything the pirates were offering minus livy (of course )five times over!!!

[@NinnaFrank]

30 years of season tickets.. 😯😯😯

[@randallbaker9060]

I am a Pirates fan. Like most (all?) Pirates fans, I am tired of losing. But I still love PNC park and being there is probably my favorite thing in the world. Bottom line: I would want the Pirates to have the card, so that it can be displayed prominently in PNC Park and shared with all other baseball fans who visit there, rather than sit in some millionaire’s safe. And yes, I am an actual customer; I was not paid by the Pirates to write this comment. 😊

[@JohnMiller-jj9kx]

Pirates offer more than fair and yes, I would most likely sell it to them after reading all the details maybe even the little details that the pirates are offering

[@tedkrillies5326]

I wouldn’t pay 500 for their offer lmao 😂 I’d sell it for a kings ransom. Screw their deal!!

[@yourneighbor7778]

I'd trade the card straight up for an anything goes hour with Livvy 🎉

[@bizhop2]

If I get it, I would ask for $250,000 and shohei’s collectibles(auto, jersey, decoy, etc….. make it happen!!)…….. Most likely sell it.

[@mikehamm007]

Oh I know what I am doing when I pull it! RDP is the new GOAT over Bowman Supers which lets face it are ugly and boring.

[@krishdasgupta7313]

Take the cash!!!!!!

[@johnbritt53]

I’m hanging on to it for no less than 100 grand. We’ll see, maybe more now.

[@forpetesake20]

finally fell into a win 😅

[@pdubya-L]

I will take the 200k they screwed Rowdy Tellez out of (no offense to Rowdy wish he'd gotten paid) plus another 300k , done deal .

[@Scottie4twenty]

It's the Pirates being cheap like usual. None of that actually cost the team anything, and I don't want to hang out with someone else girl. No thanks. I'd rather sell it

[@snerdterguson]

It costs them the value they would get selling those seats for every home game for the next 30 years. Of course it is costing them something. If the card sold for 150k, that would be a cheaper investment than a team giving away 162 seats a year for 30 years.

[@Scottie4twenty]

@snerdterguson Yeah I know how it works and didn't need any explanation. They are cheap and everyone knows it!!!

[@tubenachos]

$150k+ I'm taking it. Pitchers have so much injury risk it's a long shot

[@sunny8784]

i would have it up for sale within a second lol

[@ryanwarfield9647]

Great video, but one of your math equations has a major flaw. If you sold the card for $150K, after taxes you would only have $75K to invest. So that 30 year investment of cash would yield half or less than the total you came up with. Just trying to help with the accuracy of the comparison.

[@moronsaltable]

30 years of season tickets to the Pirates sounds like a punishment. They should offer a game used autograph jersey instead of a regular one

[@pickingwithpits8484]

What packs would this be in?

[@rdj3video]

2024 Topps Chrome Update

[@AZSportsCardRips]

If the Pirates had run support I’d say Skenes goes 10-0 this next season first 10 starts.

[@Nuttyirishman85]

I’d rather sell it for money.

[@kevingreene4090]

I want her

[@MGAF688]

I thought you died a few years ago. RIP Kevin.

[@MikeAmeel]

Is 30 years of Pirates’ season tickets a punishment or a reward?

[@4TheGame2016]

Meet and greet, maybe but come on money now talks and I think it could go for 2 to 3 times what you’re thinking right now. Let’s see if it gets scanned and comes out really soon 😮😮😮

[@Jal5555]

I would just tell the pirates give me 1 mil. They will do it.

[@trotonxylon]

Cash money only, pirates. No one wants your garbage tickets

[@AlanBundy-r5m]

Give me 💰

[@pitsnpistols1005]

I won’t get it as I’m not a breaker, but I wouldn’t trade it in unless he switches those 30 years of pirate season tickets for 10 years of Dodger season tickets

[@CharlesB42388]

As a pirate fan, screw everything they offering the only way the pirate ever get that card for me. If I ever pull it is if Bob nutting the owner of the part sells a team that’s the only way they’re ever get that card for me. I don’t care if you done want it I don’t care if the pirates wanted. Bob nutting needs to go and that’s the only way they’re ever get that card.

[@moronsaltable]

I understand that these debut patch cards are 1/1 game used and are valuable, but do most people think they look good? It looks kind of like a cover of a video game to me

[@captains_collectibles]

who is livy dunne?

[@TheNibNerd]

If I’d found it, I would give it to them if Nutting gave me the team.

[@hobiwon]

“Finds the card” is not exactly explicit. Don’t even have to sell it to Dunne.

[@TimBeene]

What if he ends up like Spencer Strider? Sorta a mirror image 🤷

[@themaoriwolverine]

The pirates are assuming the person who pulls the card is a baseball fan ie pirates fan it will probably be pulled by a guy who is just a flipper who doesn’t care about baseball and doesn’t live in Pittsburgh so there offer won’t make sense to regular person who is just a flipper who doesn’t live in pirates country the chance of an actual pirates fan pulling this card is nearly impossible

[@timsfgiantsmem9382]

id take the pirates offer unless somebody wants to give me 550k in cash

[@Cryptoinvestor-pv4fy]

With today's inflation rates, with the housing market going through the roof, I would definitely sell it at a premium. Put the money into a high yield % account compounding daily. At the end of the day, would I be here 30 years from now?

[@ArmedPatriot]

Show me the money I pulled that today

[@ryanra44]

I like the passive income of selling the tickets. Thank you for this video. I’ve been telling everyone to take their offer and invest it. Not to mention in 20 years those tickets will be a lot more expensive

[@MikelTulp]

Hey I just traded today for a 23 Topps tier one Larry Walker, Kyle Wrightson dual auto booklet /10, I attended like 28 games during the 2001 season n after seeing you in the Rockies hat n rembering how good walker was I added one to collection. Actually a Royals fan but Rockies are my no team now thx to you

[@killerwestwolfgaming353]

If I pulled that card I am getting all them together and it's a auction to the highest bid it will reach millions so not worth it and he'll no its cash money

[@danschweiger3700]

Why should a person that pulls this card get punished by the pirates organization? They should be saving all of their money to spend it on their team for once. 😂

[@SteveJohnsons-i6x]

lol you couldn't pay ME for this package from the Pirates (assuming I can't sell it). Of course I don't give a shi* about the Pirates or Skenes.

[@frankcastle3971]

We already know who is going to hit that card it's either going to be The Backyard Girls or Layton Sports cards or someone who is sponsored by Topps and Fanatics. These bounties have become jokes and I love laughing at all the clowns chasing a card that's already going to someone that gets loaded boxes all the time. No normal collector is going to hit this Skenes card, most likely it's already sitting at a location waiting for all the product to be out in stores. I wouldn't take that deal that the Pirates are offering it's a joke especially if you have to watch them lose year after year.

[@araaznavoorian2418]

Why do the pirates even want this card? Skenes won't have any ties to the organization in a few years once he becomes too expensive and they trade him or he walks in free agency .

[@thatoldyankeesguy]

I can't WAIT till Skenes hits free agency and comes to the Yankees; our other farm system. 😁 ⚾

[@JackGreen-Smith]

Anyone taking the Pirates offer is "slow"

[@TheCarolinaCollector]

Nope...I find it, it belongs to me. This whole thing is artifical hype for Topps to generate income.

[@johnbritt53]

Wait till he goes down for Tommy John surgery. And he will…

[@Will_The_Ripper]

Here for the clickbait

[@krishdasgupta7313]

Also I’ll be dead in 30 years.

[@Fortniteclandanny]

That Olivia Dunne is one piece of ace... I know from experience dude, if you know what I mean....

[@oarancards4443]

Never invest in pitchers never

[@cardsncrypto5819]

itll be pulled in a break.. collecting cards is becoming boring.... fun... but boring.. we all know who wins.. and its not the regular collectors

[@cubsfan5734]

it shouldnt be worth anything the guy is a 1 year rookie

[@patrickbrian3814]

Why do you keep saying plus you get to sit with Livy … bro idk about you but who cares I want the money Fucka sitting with another man’s girlfriend I don’t get it like even if it it was someone who I liked I wouldn’t want that. Give me the money and cool memorabilia not sit with some stranger at a pirates game.

[@CoralMan24]

The offer from the pirates is an insult you couldn't pay me to watch them losers lol. Show me the money keep the meet and greet stuff no clue who livey dunn is just would sell it for max cash and invest it.

[@bigsmooth7998]

The sexual innuendo thumbnail caption is a little too click baity Scott

[@scottiebcards2354]

Believe it or not, the sexual innuendo didn’t even cross my mind when I made this thumbnail and wasn’t the purpose of the thumbnail 😰.
