An inimitable footballer and a beloved global icon, Diego Maradona brought a unique joy to the pitch every time he played. The former Argentinos Juniors youth product won his lone domestic title in Argentina with Boca Juniors in 1981, and earned the undying adulation of the partenopei by leading Napoli to their only two Serie A titles in 1986-87 and 1989-90. The prolific goalscorer claimed his lone FIFA World Cup title in 1986, earning the tournament’s Golden Ball award after scoring Argentina’s only goals in a 2-1 win over England in the quarterfinals, and their 2-0 win over Belgium in the penultimate match. This spectacular Panini Calciatori offering shows Maradona in his timeless Argentina primary kit. The card’s BVG condition report: Centering: 9.5, Corners: 9.5, Edges: 9, Surface: 9.5. Of the 107 examples of this collectible currently in the BVG population report, this is one of ten graded at its tier, with none graded higher. A superb rookie card, in blazing Gem Mint condition.
