But yeah, man, 54 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: reading books, not scrolling on TikTok. It's been quite the year. 55 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: Well here's another old school kind of hobby, kind of 56 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: thing that seems to be back. I mean it's it's 57 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: really back. Is like collecting baseball cards like it has 58 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: but come h in the last few years it has 59 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: started to really explode again. It used to be a 60 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: big deal, you know, especially in like the was it 61 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: like the nineties, eighties nineties, it like it was a monster. 62 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: And uh, that's that's when I first started to get 63 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: into it, and then I dropped out all together, kind 64 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: of reading. You know, I got my fix and I 65 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: got out. But no, I'm I'm kind of into it now. 66 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: There's there's one particular card I'm looking for, uh and 67 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: that would probably make my year, but haven't found it yet. Uh. 68 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: Keep you know, seven dollars six, nine and nine a shot, 69 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: trying to get backs and find this beauty. But this 70 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: eleven year old kid in California he found the most 71 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: coveted baseball card of the year. So Paul Skeets, Rookie 72 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: of the Year pitcher from the Pittsburgh Pirates, also has 73 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: been a feature here on Laugh with Me. There's an 74 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: entire episode where I discussed mister Skeens. Anyway, that's not 75 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: what we're talking about today. We're talking about his baseball card. 76 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: He has a one of one tops autographed like I 77 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: think it's got a piece of his like a patch. 78 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: I tha'st his rookie patch. So it's the patch he 79 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: wore like at his debut. So Paul Skeens one of 80 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: one baseball card and the Pirates. They started it with, hey, 81 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: if whoever finds this card, and they had a package 82 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: for them to trade for the card because the Pirates 83 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: want to showcase this card at their stadium, and really, 84 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: you know, kind of build up the legend that is 85 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: becoming of Paul Skeens. And it was quite the deal. 86 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: You would get season tickets right behind home plate for 87 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: like thirty years, You get to meet Paul Skeens. I 88 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: mean there was just all kinds of stuff that you 89 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: got as part of this deal, right, and then other 90 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: people are coming in with like all right, you you 91 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: trade this card into the Pirates, and then you'll also 92 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: get to do this Like I think Seth Myers was like, 93 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: you trade this card to the Pirates and I will 94 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: have you come be on the show or watch the 95 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: show or something like that. I don't know. Maybe he 96 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: can hold up que cards. I just know he was 97 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: offering something for some reason. So Paul Skanes, he's got 98 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: this baseball card, right, this eleven year old kid, he 99 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: finally finds it, rips it open in a hobby pack 100 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: in California. Maybe hat like a from a target. I 101 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not quite sure. I've heard different things. 102 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,799 Speaker 1: It was from a target, it was from a baseball 103 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: card shop. Either way, he gets the card. We don't. 104 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: We haven't seen the kid. Okay, we haven't seen the 105 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: kid at all. I've I've kind of wondered about that, Like, 106 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't the kid want like his picture with the card 107 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: out there somewhere? Maybe maybe not. I don't know I 108 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: would have thought so. I guess there's different opinions, maybe 109 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: some safety issues if the kid everyone knew who the 110 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: kid was. And that's true. I didn't think about that. 111 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: I just thought how badass it would be to be 112 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: the kid that had the baseball card. Well, he gets 113 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: the card graded, you know, they have to grade it 114 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: and for its perfection, and it's a perfect card. I 115 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: mean it is a perfect ten out of ten. So 116 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: now you've got this Paul Skiing's one of one the 117 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 1: most coveted baseball card of the year. It's in perfect condition. 118 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: And the Pirates are like, Okay, here's our offer, and 119 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: it's a good I mean, it's a good offer. Right, 120 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: he turns it down. He turns down the Pittsburgh Pirates offer. 121 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: I'm actually I'm gonna look up what that offer is, 122 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: because it is it is pretty good Pirates offer for 123 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: Paul Skiings card. Johnny, this is probably something you could 124 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: have done. But nope, no big deal. I'm just you know, 125 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: over here multitasking. Ah. So here's here's what the proposed 126 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: trade was. So the Pirates would get the one of 127 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: one Paul Skins rookie debut patch autograph card. Incredible, it's 128 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: a beautiful card. The eleven year old collector would receive 129 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: two Pirates season tickets behind a home plate for the 130 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: next thirty for thirty years. Which think about this. Okay, 131 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: he lives in California, so he's gonna have all these 132 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: tickets in Pittsburgh. So that's that's one thing, right, that'd 133 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: be an issue. Meet and greet with Paul Skeens. That'd 134 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: be cool to Paul Skiings autographs, jerseys. Pretty neat softball 135 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: game for thirty of your friends at P and C 136 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: Park with coaching from Pirates alumni. That would be neat. Okay, 137 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not even gonna lie about that. That 138 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: one would be badass. To be able to play on 139 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: a big league field and play softball with your friends. 140 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: That would be fun. A private tour of Pirate City 141 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: and Lee Coom Park and a Pirate's game with Livy 142 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: Dunn in her suite courtesy of Livy. Of course, that 143 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: is the girlfriend of mister Paul Skins or fiance. I 144 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know where they're at. I don't 145 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: follow their relationship that closely. But had you follow the 146 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: baseball card and he turned it down? Okay, so now 147 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: it's going to auction. So he is taking this baseball 148 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: card to auction, which basically means he's looking to get paid, 149 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with that. Go get paid, dude, 150 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: get your money. Who's gonna get the money? That's is 151 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: the eleven year old getting the money? Is the guardians, 152 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: the parents, whoever they are of this eleven year old? 153 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: Are they getting the money? I mean there's because this 154 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: card's good goal for a pretty high dollar. I mean 155 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: that's just guaranteed. And then where's the card end up? 156 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: Like who's gonna win? Like buy this card and then 157 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: where do they end up with it? I mean, that's 158 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: that's the interesting thing, because ultimately this card, in my opinion, 159 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: needs to be in Pittsburgh at the Pirates Stadium to 160 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: be showcased. I guess it could still be showcased and 161 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: not technically owned by the pirates. Correct, I mean it 162 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: would be it investment with security, I'm assuming. But what 163 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 1: a deal eleven year old buying this baseball card. Here's 164 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: if had I pulled the card. Here's what I would 165 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: have done. First of all, I guess I'd be the 166 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: idiot get my picture taken with the card, because it 167 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: would be badass. That thing would have been showed everywhere, 168 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, I mean stories and posts and whatnot. I've seen, 169 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: say an eleven year old pulls a baseball card. I 170 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: would have had my picture with it everywhere. So that's 171 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: first of all, I one hundred percent would have done that. 172 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: I would have done that almost immediately. Then I would 173 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: have made sure this baseball card got to the Pittsburgh Pirate. 174 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: We could have made a whole deal out of it, right, 175 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: the presenting of the baseball card to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Now, 176 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: I would have negotiated just a little bit. I don't 177 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: know that I want the season tickets. It would be cool. 178 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: I just I don't live in Pittsburgh and I don't 179 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: see myself going to Pittsburgh. So I'm gonna do with 180 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: these tickets and the pirates aren't very good, so it's 181 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: not like I could guarantee I could sell the tickets. 182 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: I guess whatever little bit I could sell them for 183 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: is more than nothing. But when you have a baseball 184 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: card that's gonna be worth seven figures, I'm assuming seven figures. 185 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: Certainly not gonna get that back in those baseball tickets, 186 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: but that's pretty cool. Meanwhile, there's one card I'm dying 187 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: to find, and it could I go on eBay and 188 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: just purchase this card one hundred per I could do 189 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: this right now in a heartbeat. I'd have this card 190 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: by the end of the week. But that's not the 191 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: fun of it. The fun of it's ripping open the pack, 192 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: going through the stack of cards, and then finally finding 193 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: that Tim Robinson card. You know, the actor, comedian writer 194 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: Tim Robinson. He's in a set this year twenty twenty 195 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: four Allen and Ginter Baseball Cards say it's they're that 196 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: like series of cards is incredible and I'm sad that 197 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: I'm so late to the game on this like series 198 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: they have celebrities, not just baseball players like they have 199 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: baseball players. I mean, they are baseball cards. The whole 200 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: deal is baseball but they have baseball players, football players, 201 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: basketball players, actors, musicians, I mean bumblebees. I've got so 202 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: many bumble bees trying to find this Tim Robinson. There's 203 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: an X ray like a turtle, Like, I've got awesome, 204 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: awesome cards from you know, opening these, but I just 205 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: I really wanted Tim Robinson. I got this eleven year 206 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: old kid who's pulling one of one Paul Sken's cards, 207 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: and I'm just sitting here wunning at Tim Robinson, like 208 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: what's it gonna take? And then I see the story 209 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: of this guy on I think it was even Tops 210 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: that was promoting this guy. This guy was collecting as 211 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: many of the Tim Robinson cards as he could, you know, 212 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: and they were making a joke of it, saying, don't worry, 213 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: he's doing something, you know or whatever. It's a bit 214 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: from his show. And I'm just like, I just want 215 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: one card. He's over here stockpiling all the cards. I'm 216 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: concerned he's gonna get them all and then what, I'm 217 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: sure he's just trying to get fifty five of them 218 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: so he can do the joke. But it's like, I 219 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: just want one Tim Robinson. Could I get an autograph? One? Sure? 220 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: If I pull it, I'm not paying the three hundred 221 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: dollars whatever it is for one. That's kind of what 222 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: it's going for it on eBay. I just want one 223 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: Tim Robbins. I don't even care if it's autographs. If 224 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: I pull it, great if not.
