Nevermind the autograph. Ignore the fact that it's a 1/1. Forget that it's a super-premium Paul Skenes rookie. Even without all of these factors, from a purely aesthetic standpoint, this is one of the pitcher's coolest cards. It practically talks. But there are all those other factors folded into it as well, making this one of Skenes' greatest cards and one that's going to be tough to top.
A 1/1 Gold parallel from the Autographed Patch checklist, this one comes from 2024 Topps Dynasty Baseball, a luxury-level release with few peers. The product is home to, arguably, the phenom's top rookie cards. What makes this card stand out even more is the patch. Not only is it large but it's a distinct half of Pittsburgh's pirate logo, giving the card a tremendous amount character.
