The Pirates had put together a package that included 30 years' worth of season tickets behind home plate at PNC Park and the chance to play a softball game on the field in exchange for the card.
Skenes' girlfriend, LSU gymnast and influencer Livvy Dunne, also offered the card's owner the opportunity
to take in a game with her in a luxury suite at the ballpark during one of Skenes' starts.
While the collector wrote in a journal entry shared by Topps that nabbing the card was a "
dream come true," that dream apparently did not include spending the next three decades attending games at PNC Park.
