Livvy Dunne Buys Rare Paul Skenes Rookie Card

Olivia 'Livvy' Dunne, former LSU gymnast and social media influencer, purchased a rare Paul Skenes rookie card for $2,850 at Fanatics Fest in New York City after negotiating down from the original $3,000 price. The card, featuring Japanese anime graphics and graded a perfect PSA 10, is one of only five in existence. Dunne impressed onlookers with her calm and informed bargaining in a celebrity-driven environment, highlighting the importance of preparation in high-profile memorabilia transactions. The event also showcased the growing cultural influence of athlete power couples. Skenes, now a standout ace for the Pittsburgh Pirates, currently holds a 1.85 ERA and has earned NL Rookie of the Year and All-MLB First Team honors. The purchase underscores the couple's mutual support and their rising prominence on and off the field.
