LIke modern-day Willy Wonkas, Topps has hidden a special Paul Skenes card in Chrome Update, which has been available since Wednesday. In addition to having the only rookie debut patch autograph of its kind, the lucky person who finds the needle in a haystack will be given some pretty sweet perks by the Pittsburgh Pirates organization.
On Friday they revealed that in exchange for bringing this card "home" to PNC Park, the presenter would be given two Pirates season tickets behind home plate for the next 30 years, a softball game for 30 at the ballpark, and a Spring Training experience including a meet-and-greet with Skenes among other cool stuff.
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.

In a matter of days, he could win the National League Rookie of the Year Award and the Cy Young.
Happy hunting.
