The Pittsburgh Pirates had another disappointing season in 2024 when they finished last in the NL Central with a record of 76-86.
They missed the postseason for a ninth straight year and had their sixth straight losing season.
Although the season overall was a disappointment, the Pirates did have one bright spot in rookie pitcher Paul Skenes, who was the starter for the NL in the All-Star Game.
Now, the Pirates are making an incredible offer for one of his baseball cards.
“The Pirates are offering 30 years of season tickets behind home plate and more in exchange for this 1/1 Paul Skenes Debut Patch card,” B/R Walk-Off wrote on X.

Skenes had an incredible rookie season with the Pirates and is a finalist for both Rookie of the Year and the National League Cy Young Award.
He started 23 games and was 11-3 with a 1.96 ERA and 170 strikeouts in 133.0 innings pitched.
Baseball cards are making a comeback with more and more collectors taking up the hobby.
The Pirates offered a boatload for this singular card of their star rookie pitcher.
Along with the decades of season tickets, the Pirates are offering a spring training experience, meet and greet with Skenes, two Skenes autographed jerseys, and more.
Some people think Skenes is going to be the next great pitcher in the MLB, and he is off to a good start with his 2024 numbers.
The Pirates went all in on getting this card, and it will be interesting to see if they are offering enough to obtain it.
