Pirate champion pitcher Paul Skenes' rookie king player gold card was "drawn" and estimated at $1 million, and it was an 11-year-old who drew the card! California prohibits people under the age of 18 from buying lotto, but the 11-year-old who lives in Los Angeles won the "Player Card Lotto" and will soon become rich. In accordance with the winner's wishes, Topps announced that the card would go up for auction.

Skins Limited to 1 Topps Rookie King Signed Player Gold Card in 2024, the Pirate Ball Club is offering two "30-Year Season Tickets" for the best position behind home plate, and many giveaways in exchange for this card. Shohei Ohtani's most expensive rookie card was auctioned for $530,000 last November, because Otani was not as high-profile as the rookie king when he was a rookie, and Skins was treated as a true chosen one this year.

However, it was an 11-year-old who won the jackpot, so the "beauty trick" of Skins' girlfriend Olivia Dunne didn't work, and she had promised to go the extra mile to accompany the winners to watch the game in the VIP box if they were willing to sell their player cards to the pirates. Skins played 23 games last season, with 11 wins and 3 losses, threw 170 strikeouts, and had a 1.96 ERA (normalized 214, more than double the average pitcher), winning the National League Rookie of the Year and being a finalist for the National League Young Award.
