I guess this card is one a kind and has a patch that Skenes wore in his debut.
30 years of Pirates tickets behind home plate is a heck of a lot of games, but undrestandable for someone his age to pass on. He wouldn't be able to go very much until he was a good bit older and I doubt there's a ton of scalping night to night there.

He's only 11 - if he were 13+, the exclusive experience with Skenes' girlfriend hanging out in her suite for a game probably would have sealed the deal.

Doesn't the kid also live in Los Angeles? That'd be tough to go to many games

Auction, take the money, put it in the market, and by age 30 you're more than set for life

He should've just deferred the offer until he's old enough to move to Pittsburgh.

Or wait until the Pirates salary dump Skenes in a few years and he ends up with the Dodgers.

Frankly, the Pirates are just so, so terrible - for most of my life - that their offer would only make sense if the card finder was IN Pennsylvania

Smart move by tbe kid. If it were my kid you sell it and put that money in a good investment account and you're set for a lot of things in life.

Yeah....even if the kid lived in Pittsburgh the smart move would be to decline. No brainer living across the country....

Pirates did the right thing and offered the kid to come and meet Skenes or have him to Dodger stadium when they're in town
