Livvy Dunne Makes Bold Offer for Paul Skenes Rookie Card
Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes' rookie season might be in rearview mirror, but a piece of his rookie run could earn one fan some unforgettable prizes.
On Nov. 13, Topps released its 2024 Topps Chrome Update series, which contains a one-of-one Paul Skenes Rookie Debut Patch Autograph card in just one lucky pack. If that's you, the Pittsburgh Pirates would love to make a trade for it. In exchange for bringing the card to the team's home of PNC Park, the Pirates will give you two season tickets behind home plate for the next 30 years, a softball game for 30 with coaching from Pirates alums, two autographed Skenes jerseys, and a one-of-a-kind spring training experience complete with a Skenes meet-and-greet and the chance to do batting practice with the team.
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.

Skenes' girlfriend, popular gymnast and social media personality Livvy Dunne, took the offer one step further.
"Let's raise the stakes," the Louisiana State University gymnast wrote on social media. "The person who finds the card can sit with me at a Pirates game in my suite."
It's an offer that should pique the interest of many online as Dunne's profile has grown exponentially in the past year. "They didn't offer a date with Livvy Dunne? [I'm] out," one person wrote on X.

Skenes and Dunne might be young in the grand scheme of professional sports, but they've quickly become household names. On Nov. 9, the power couple donned mics and appeared on ESPN College GameDay alongside Pat McAfee live from Dunne's LSU campus.
If you end up claiming the lucky card, don't waste any time in claiming your prizes.
