Texas Kindergartner’s Rare Baseball Card Discovery Goes Viral

Texas kindergartner Champ Stutts recently became an unexpected sensation in the world of baseball card collecting. The six-year-old, with a burgeoning love for collecting baseball cards, struck gold on an ordinary Monday when he stumbled upon a treasure trove: an ultra-rare, “one of one” Paul Skenes Onyx card. With a collection boasting over a thousand cards, Champ’s latest find left even seasoned collectors green with envy.

The buzz around Champ’s discovery began when a video of his pure excitement, filmed by his mother Kristi and shared on the family’s TikTok account “Stutts Family Fun,” went viral. LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, who coincidentally is Paul Skenes’ girlfriend, chanced upon the video and not only commented on it but also shared it with Skenes himself.

Upon watching the video, Skenes was so impressed that he commented, inviting Champ to attend one of his baseball games. The unexpected moment didn’t end there. The Pittsburgh Pirates, caught up in the excitement, reached out to the Stutts family and promised to send Champ a Paul Skenes jersey, solidifying this unforgettable experience for the young fan.

For Champ, his passion for baseball cards is not a solitary hobby but a family affair. Passed down from his dad, who embarked on a quest for a Skenes Topps Chrome rookie patch card last November, Champ’s love for collecting is now influencing his two-year-old brother, who insists on snuggling with cards every night.

While Champ is a caring elder brother, he sets boundaries when it comes to the more valuable cards, making sure his sibling doesn’t risk damaging them. In one instance, as his brother came near a prized possession, Champ was quick to remind, “Bro, don’t bend it,” ensuring the cards stay in immaculate condition.

The Stutts family’s social media post acknowledging the Pirates and Skenes reflected the sheer joy of this heartwarming episode. Clearly, Champ’s remarkable find has not only brought him widespread attention but has also garnered unexpected connections with professional athletes and teams, making him a star in his own right in the baseball card community.
