The 2024 Tops Chrome update MLB Debut Patch Autograph Card of Pittsburgh Pirates Putcher Paul Scans was sold for $ 1.11 million including the buyer’s premium on Thursday.
This is the record paid for a scan card-the 2025 base salary is $ 875,000-and the most expensive modern, non-mobile trout baseball card. (In August 2020, 1 -off -1 trout crook card was sold for $ 3.9 million, then the most expensive sports card ever.)
The buyer’s identity is currently unknown. The card was sold through fundamentalists.
The 1-of-1 number card with on-card autographs includes patch scanses worn on its pirates uniform during its MLB debut, a conceit that MLB exclusive trading card licensed tops develop and introduce and introduced and introduced and introduced and introduced and introduced and introduced and introduced and introduced and introduced.
Pre-kernel was the most paid for one in a private sales for the previous summer of Anthony Wolpe. Jackson Holiday’s MLB Debut Patch Autograph Card was sold in $ 198,000, including the buyer’s premium at Thursday’s auction.
Scan Factor-National League’s all-star game starting pitcher, a Cym Young Finalist and the year stalled in 2024-a modern sports card, was rarely seen for a modern sports card, baseball or otherwise. The last Christmas, an 11 -year -old Dojers fan from Los Angeles (has been chosen by the family to be anonymous) pulled the Science Redemption Card from his loan Christmas present.
Pirates offered a reward, including a 30-year season ticket, a meat-and-grade with scan, two signed jersey and many private PNC parks and spring training in exchange for tourism and cards. Scan’s girlfriend and LSU gymnast Livi Dune offered to host, which also drawn the card for a pirates game in his suite; Seth Mayors, the host of “Late Night with Seth Mayors”, offered just a VIP experience to see the card.
But the family turned it down. He began to talk with the auction houses in early January and gathered the fundamentalists. Kevin Lenne, the vice -president of the radical market, flew to Texas to collect the scaints card personally.
“This was complicated by the fact that the family was evacuated several times from where it was evacuated in Los Angeles,” Lenne said. “I obtained a card from the tops in Texas and brought it to the family, then the next day, classified it for them (with the card grader PSA) and brought it back to New York.”
On the flight to California, the pilot was discovered about the heavy insured cargo to lend, in a protective case.
“I shared it with him, (and) he wanted a picture with a certification and grading service, a certification and grading service, former PSA chairman Lennene.” “I honestly felt like Ed McMahon, brought this check to an excited, minor Southern California family. With great objects, you will spend a bunch of money and make a bunch of money; In this case, the family bought a box of card for a few hundred rupees, and this is a pleasure to bring it. It was a pleasure to be able to bring for them.”
The card also caused a pileup to see the card in February, which was attached to a wall to see the card in February. Nick Bell, CEO of fundamentalists, stated that the viewing scene was “felt a little like Mona Lisa” due to the line of those who wanted to take a glimpse at the rare collectible.
Lenne said that the 11 -year -old, who draws the card, is a fan of Shohi Ohtani, but still eager to talk with the scan, a meeting fundamentalists plan to facilitate the road.
Bell said that he could not remember a time because he joined the company that such enthusiasm has been done on a card.
He said, “I have more calls and questions about scan cards, which we have compared to any other cards we sold on fundamentalists.” “And this was the truth within five, 10 minutes (cards going to auction) were being announced. This is the most notable card ever in our imprint trekking on social media.”
The radical collection is located in Los Angeles, and Bell said that all radical income collected income will go towards La Fire Relief. Radicals have also supported relief efforts with LA Strong Merchandise.
The family told the fundamentalists that the sale would send their 11 -year -old and his brother to college.
“Whatever they keep in mind for their college, they are going to divide in the middle as a savings,” Lenne said. “Some small amounts for the card are determined, but it is less than the college bill. The vast majority is going to college-type savings schemes.”
