Here is the plain text result:
11-year-old boy from Los Angeles who pulled the Paul Skenes MLB Debut Patch card will likely sell it for more money than Skenes will make from his 2025 base salary with the Pittsburgh Pirates. With 56 bids as of Wednesday night, the gem-mint PSA 10 graded autographed one-of-one rookie card bearing the patch Skenes wore on his jersey sleeve during his Major League debut has a high bid of $550,000 as of this writing. That would mean with the auction house’s buyer’s premium (to be donated to the Los Angeles Fire Department and Red Cross), the new owner of the card would have to pony up $660,000 for one of the most hyped cards in the hobby. And there’s still ample time for more bids, as the auction for the card on Fanatics Collect ends March 20. At some point, Skenes could make $44 million per season if he continues his current trajectory. For now, the Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star pitcher will make a base salary of $800,000 this season, via Spotrac.
