Condition Details
Image quality is blurry, but visible centering appears slightly left-heavy. Corners and edges are protected by a top-loader, but surface integrity cannot be fully verified through the plastic sleeve.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for this specific card unless the back autograph is professionally authenticated. A base card often costs more to grade than its market value increase.
Card Description
Features Lionel Messi in his pink Inter Miami CF kit, celebrating with his signature two-fingered skyward gesture. Position: Forward. The card features a metallic chrome finish with pink geometric accents reflecting the team colors.
Notable Features
Includes the MLS logo. While the owner mentions a back autograph, it is important to note this is not an official pack-issued 'Topps Certified Autograph' but likely an 'In-Person' (IP) signature.
Authentication Notes
Official Topps Messi autographs are usually on the front and verified by a hologram. A signature on the back requires professional authentication (PSA/DNA or Beckett) to be considered authentic and hold value.
Owner Notes
It was the first messy card ever made, and he autographed it on the back
