ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA — Pirates Pitcher Paul Skenes to Headline Topps Rip Event
Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes will participate in an exciting Topps Rip event on June 27 at 10 a.m. at Dick’s Sporting Goods House of Sport, located at Ross Park Mall. This event will welcome a select group of local youth athletes from various sports organizations in the greater Pittsburgh area.
Topps Rip events celebrate the thrilling world of card collecting and trading. A highlight of the event will be the exclusive display of a one-of-a-kind Skenes baseball card, featuring his autograph and a patch from his jersey worn during his much-anticipated Major League debut last May. The card was recently purchased by Dick’s Sporting Goods for an impressive $1.1 million, underscoring its significance and value.
Skenes, who made a splash as a rookie by starting in the All-Star Game last year, is widely recognized as one of baseball’s top prospects. While he currently boasts an impressive 1.85 earned run average, his season record of 4-6 reflects the challenges faced by the struggling Pirates this year.
The Topps Rip event promises to engage young sports enthusiasts and fans of Skenes alike, combining the thrill of baseball with the joy of card collecting. This gathering not only showcases Skenes’ achievements but also emphasizes the importance of community sports engagement in Pittsburgh.
Join us for this unique opportunity to meet one of the league’s brightest stars and celebrate the fun of collecting sports memorabilia.
