One of the most coveted rookie inserts in the 2024 hobby season — the 2024 Topps Chrome Cosmic Stars in the Night insert features stunning full-bleed cosmic artwork with Paul Skenes in full delivery, surrounded by an explosion of color that makes this one of the most visually spectacular cards in the entire Chrome Cosmic lineup. This copy has been professionally graded by PSA and awarded a MINT 9 — a near-perfect specimen with sharp corners, clean surfaces, and strong centering, certified under PSA cert #149243859.
The card back tells the story of the most dominant young arm in baseball. Skenes’ arsenal is built around a triple-digit fastball, a slider with tight spin and pronounced horizontal break, and his signature weapon — the “splinker,” a sinker/splitter hybrid that bottoms out as it reaches the zone. As Pirates pitching coach Oscar Marin puts it: “You can call it a sinker, splinker, split, whatever you want. I call it super deceptive.”
Paul Skenes was the #1 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft and immediately lived up to the hype — posting historic strikeout numbers in his MLB debut season and establishing himself as the face of the Pittsburgh Pirates and one of the most collected pitchers in the modern hobby. A PSA 9 RC insert of Skenes is a blue-chip collectible with long-term upside.
