Graded MINT 9 by PSA (85052440). Soccer icon Lionel Messi dons the sky-blue-and-white primary kit of the Argentina national team on the obverse of this enviable Panini Select Purple Prizm collectible. After a glittering European career that included 12 league titles, four UEFA Champions League crowns, and a record eight Ballon d'Ors (as well as Copa América and FIFA World Cup titles for his home nation), Messi made the decision to take his talents to South Beach, setting up shop with MLS newcomers Inter Miami. Messi's stateside arrival has been nothing short of a phenomenon, garnering more attention than perhaps any other event in the history of American club soccer. The legend's early performances—including 12 goals, 6 assists, and a Leagues Cup trophy in his first 16 games—have been front-page news in the United States, attracting new fans and widespread curiosity for MLS. The combination of the world's greatest-ever player and the world's largest media market has been a smash success for both parties and will continue to progress America's place in the club soccer landscape for years to come. The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered "79/99." This enviable collectible comes from True Gem Korea, a partner of Goldin's Rip & Flip program.
