Paul Skenes, the Pittsburgh Pirates' top prospect and the third best in all of baseball, will make his highly anticipated MLB debut Saturday. Since the beginning of last season, those making their MLB debuts have worn a patch on their jerseys signifying the milestone that is later placed onto a random rookie card as a collectible. Skenes' debut is probably the most anticipated in baseball in quite some time, and that includes Jackson Holliday and Gunnar Henderson of the Orioles, Jackson Chourio of the Brewers and Anthony Volpe of the Yankees, just to name a few. His Topps Rookie Debut Patch Autograph Card received an offer of $150,000 last year after he debuted on opening day 2023. So, combine his stardom on and off the field, and there is a realistic chance that Skenes' Topps Rookie Debut Patch Autograph Card goes not only for six figures, but could even blow by the offer made for Volpe's card.
