The autograph of Lionel Messi, one of the defining footballers of the modern era whose career reshaped the visual and sporting identity of world football. A FIFA World Cup champion, multiple Ballon d’Or recipient, and longtime leader of FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and the Argentina national team, Messi remains among the most influential athletes of the twenty-first century.

At the center of the composition is a signed photograph accompanied by a football shirt, brought together in a unified collector’s presentation.
