Livvy Dunne recently snagged one of boyfriend Paul Skenes’ rare rookie cards — shelling out $2,850 for the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher’s collectible, Sports Illustrated reported.

A video of the price negotiation was posted on Topps’ social media account on X.

The Skenes Anime Card had an asking price of $3,000.

In the video, Dunne said she saw one sell for $2,200, and the sellers wearing Steel City Collectibles T-shirts agreed to Dunne’s offer of $2,850.

The influencer and former LSU gymnast has been dating the Pirates star since 2023 when they both went to LSU, according to Sports Illustrated.

Dunne had originally wanted Skenes to get his 1/1 2024 Topps Chrome Update MLB debut patch autograph rookie card that auctioned for $1.11 million.

However, Dick’s Sporting Goods released a statement announcing their purchase of the card, ESPN reported.

It’s on display at Dick’s House of Sport in Pittsburgh’s Ross Park Mall.
