Graded GEM MT 10 by PSA. Rookie Card. Lionel Messi has starred for Catalan giants FC Barcelona since his debut with the team during the 2004-05 La Liga campaign.

This card, a Panini Sports Megacracks Barca Campio “Campions” collectible, is the scarce Catalan-language version of the card as evidenced by the “Barca Campio” logo on the card and “Campions” printed to Messi’s left. Of the 159 examples of this card in the PSA population report, this is one of 15 examples graded at its tier, with none graded higher. A scarce and premium Messi debut-year collectible, in spectacular Gem Mint condition.
