Chase for Skenes’ RDPA Goes Supernova
The wild chase for a loaded 2024 Topps Chrome Update Series Baseball RDPA class took a fun turn today when the Pittsburgh Pirates announced their intention to join the chase for Paul Skenes’ highly sought-after Rookie Debut Patch Auto. On Instagram, the organization announced, “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…here’s our offer.”
The bounty is wild: Two Pirates season tickets behind home plate for the next 30 (yes, you read that correctly) years. But wait, there’s more – a softball game for you and 29 of your closest friends at PNC Park, with coaching from Pirates alums. If that doesn’t do it for you, the Pirates are throwing in a Spring Training fan experience, including a meet-and-greet with Skenes, two autographed Skenes jerseys, a private tour of team facilities, and the chance to take batting practice and warm up with the team.
But wait, there’s more.
Livvy Dunne Ups the Ante
Skenes’ girlfriend, gymnast Livvy Dunne went online and proclaimed, “Let’s raise the stakes…the person who finds the card can sit with me at a Pirates game in my suite,” ensuring this already crazy chase will go into the stratosphere.
The offer from the Pirates and Dunne demonstrates the amount of excitement the RDPA generates for The Hobby. So, who’s next? Will the Cincinnati Reds weigh in on the chase for Elly De La Cruz’s RDPA? Do the Los Angeles Dodgers want to join the chase for Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s? Keep your eyes peeled because the hunt is just getting started.
