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. With the speed of a bicycle, Messi makes his way down the field in short and long sprints. 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.

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 318 million IG followers.

Good grief. Could this card be any more beautiful? Limited to five examples, the front of this card presents a gorgeous photo of Messi celebrating. Panini kicked in an actual diamond and dazzling auto, too. As if the front of this card is not stunning enough, the obverse story is priceless. You win this card and you get Messi and U2. With Or Without You, this card will sell. It is Out of Control. Do you have the Desire?
