Pittsburgh Pirates’ Paul Skenes pitches during the first inning of a baseball game against the New York Yankees, Saturday, Sept. 28, 2024, in New York.

Call it a Yinzer version of Willie Wonka’s golden ticket.

The owner of an autographed Paul Skenes rookie debut baseball card could receive season tickets at PNC Park behind home plate for 30 years.

Claiming the prize would mean turning the card over to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The pitcher’s card can be found in one pack of newly released Topps Chrome Update series baseball cards, according to Topps on X. The cards were released this week, so someone might already have it.
