OT: Paul Skenes Rookie Card Search

[Rich Klein]

Curt Schilling, who does know something about pitching, has predicted that he will need TJ surgery within his first 400 innings as a major league pitcher. Skipping political talk, I do value his opinions on baseball.

The Patch card has not yet been pulled that we know of and nor has the 1/1 autograph of LeBron, Steph and KD from the Topps Now Olympic set.

Both had large bounties and both are still not yet been pulled from packs (or the sealed bag of the Topps now product.

That is NOT the card with tbe bounty. The card with the bounty is the debut game patch card (or whatever the formal name is)

Yes, this is not the patch. That's pretty clear. I thought it was pretty comparable to the superfractor card posted in the thread.

I'd put money on that card, or the box/case that card was likely not-so-randomly inserted into, being in the vault of the card company. People have to buy more product first! I can't possibly believe anything else. The longer it takes to be pulled, the more this theory makes sense.

I'm with you. I mean if it was pulled within a few days of product release, and some guy posted it on youtube, it would defeat the whole point.

That's not true on the Topps Now 1/1. Those are all shipped when issued and it's not like pack pulled cards.

And the card not being pulled really does not do Topps/Fanatics any good. The conspiracy theories will become they did not insert the card into a pack/box/case etc. The last thing any card company needs is that type of publicity.

There's a great documentary on Netflix I think about the McDonalds monopoly game fraud. If this hasn't gone on over the years with these chase cards at least occasionally I'd eat my hat. Or 10 hats.

I don’t blame the kid for auctioning the card.

I don’t think Topps sat on the triple signed because it was a Topps Now release. I am positive it’s out there but has either privately sold or someone is keeping it quiet and waiting for the right time. Unless USPS really lost a big one this time, lol.

That is NOT an implication, just a statement of fact the triple auto has either not been pulled yet or it has and is kept quiet. Same for the Skenes card in question.
