2004 PANINI SPORTS MEGA CRACKS LA LIGA LIONEL MESSI ROOKIE RC #71 BGS 9.5 GEM Dec 9 Written By Crista Moreno Premier Soccer Investment PieceOffered here is without question Lionel Messi's most desired rookie card and an Italian issue which is incredibly rare and condition sensitive. A small amount of copies have earned the BGS 9.5 assessment since the product's release with the offered copy boasting GEM MINT centering, corners and surfaces. Free of typical excess print in the red rectangles along the right edge of the card (rare). The color is extremely bright and the overall registration is flawless. In many ways, we feel the corners on this card are worthy of the '10' pristine assessment with the ultra fragile reverse upper two being entirely free of any 'white' showing. A near undetectable chip along the reverse left edge is all that accounts for the '9' sub-grade. Certain elite Soccer/Futbol rookie cards are incredibly hot right now as the world-wide market has finally recognized the importance of the sport and some of the figures who play. Incredibly difficult to improve upon and only deserving of the finest portfolio. Please see the video highlight for more details on this offering. One of over 25,000 cards, lots and sets up for bid in our 11th Auction of 2020. Click on the link above to view the other PWCC auction lots. Crista Moreno
