There is no shortage of extraordinary footballers in today’s game. Yet Argentina’s Lionel Messi still stands out among the best. He seems to have a sixth sense on the field, anticipating opponents’ moves and teammates’ expectations. Known as one of the most intelligent players on the pitch, he uses his smarts to outmaneuver other players. Almost impossible to catch, he somehow maintains control of the ball as he dribbles down the field. Most of all, Messi can pass like nobody else in the sport. The record holder for the most goals in La Liga, Messi shows no signs of slowing down. At 34, he is still competing for PSG. Investors typically want to buy the cards of popular athletes because it ensures demand for their cards in future years. How popular is La Pulga? For perspective, Shohei Ohtani has 1.3 million IG followers. Tiger Woods has 2.9 million, Tom Brady has 11.8 million, and Lewis Hamilton boasts 27.6 million. Lionel Messi has 330 million IG followers. Encased in a BGS 9.5 holder is Messi's flagship rookie card--Mega Cracks #71. Due to condition issues, this card seldom earns GEM MINT remarks. It did so here and boasts virtually perfect centering, corners, and surfaces. This example's color scheme remains vibrant and the print is immaculate. Soon we will see Messi in his Argentina kit, playing on the World's biggest stage. We expect Messi to be virtuoso in Qatar and as a result, this card should appreciate in value.
