Three playoff trips in the last 32 years. Hard to believe that the “winner” of those season tickets might get to see, what… 6 post-season games? Maybe I’m just a jaded fan, but the only value in those seats is to resell them.
For a Pirates fan the season tickets alone would cost $480K with no future price increases. If the Cubs offered that for one of our players I would take it over the cash. Of course I have been paying out of pocket for season tickets since 1990 - though my seats are not as good (or expensive) as what the Pirates are offering.
I think this is great if you're a Pirates fan. There are times where experiences are greater than cash. That said, I have no idea what this card would go for. If I pulled it, I would definitely move it, whether it be for cash or the experience - too many Stephen Strasburg scenarios possible.
I'm a Pirates fan and I wouldn't want to subject myself to having to watch 30 years of my team from behind home plate. I'd rather have the cash. Now, if Nutting sells and new ownership wipes out the rest of the management staff, then I could be interested. Until then, I'll take the green backs. I'd vomit having to watch the Josh Van Meter DFA signings play 100 games at second base while batting .190. If I get the card, can I instead trade it for one season of Steelers season tickets??

That's insane!
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
Man that guy is living El dolce vida right now. Hope he realizes how easily it could end for a pitcher
Show me the $$$$$$$ instead...look how much the Ohtani 50/50 ball was worth!
Those Taiwanese investor people will be all over that card like stink on limburger if it ever pops up.
Enjoy the go.

SHOW ME THE MONEY $$$$$$
I would absolutely trade a season of Steelers season tickets for that card.
I would only consider the offer if they threw in peanuts,popcorn, and beer. 😀

30 years of that organ grinder constantly playing and the Jolly Roger? NO THANKS!!!
Enjoy the go.
That would be embarrassing for an old timer like me, falling asleep watching the Pirates with Olivia Dunne there.
If I ever get him to sign a card I’m definitely asking for him to draw a mustache for the inscription.
Could be she may assist you in staying awake.😀
Imagine if joeykoins pulls the Skenes card in his rip thread.
Let's GOooooooooooooo
He'd have a stroke if he pulls a base refractor from a blaster!
