Cristiano Ronaldo's rookie year! This very scarce, unopened product that was manufactured in Italy with content and distribution targeted for Portugal, is almost never offered for sale. The highly visual counter-sales box contains 50 unopened packs harboring 5 stickers, apiece. Never-touched cards inside could include the "CR7" Rookie, #306, an early appearance conceived while the superstar toiled for Sporting Portugal several months before a move to Manchester United. Copies of this rookie card in PSA 10 have traded hands in the $40,000 range and higher. The fully intact box retained has the original strip of clear adhesive tape that was placed at the factory to secure the lid flap that has been broken, however all packs are factory sealed. The colorful container concedes routine shelf wear, primarily at the edges and corners.
