Whoever finds Paul Skenes' rookie baseball card is in for a treat.

On November 13, Topps released Skenes' card, which celebrates his All-Star rookie season. The card is unique, meaning only a single lucky collector will get to own a copy if and when they get their hands on the correct pack.

Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Pirates are sweetening the pot. The Pirates are willing to make a trade for it -- and they're offering quite a bit.

Skenes' girlfriend, former LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, offered the person who found the card a chance to watch a game with her in her suite, and Late Night host Seth Meyers offered four tickets to his show to anyone who'd let him look at it.

If you find it and just let me LOOK at it for a SECOND, 4 VIP tickets to a @LateNightSeth taping https://t.co/8TxskOdywa
