Despite being widely considered the best footballer in the World for quite a while now, Lionel Messi had never had a proper certified autograph card ever issued before.That is about to change as UK-based football memorabilia company Icons is set to release a dedicated Leo Messi card set. Apparently this collection will feature 89 regular cards as well as numbered parallels, jerseys, patches and the aforementioned first ever certified Messi autographs. I know, I know, Messi has some Futera 1 of 1 autos but as I've made clear before I don't trust Futera's signatures which they don't even bother to back up with a guarantee of authenticity and for good reason me thinks.
Back to the Messi collection before I go on another Futera rant, here's what's known so far.
As far as design goes, to be honest the design of the cards looks a bit amateurish to me but hopefully the cards look better in person than in these mock-up pics. Still I'm very much looking forward to this release. Hopefully I can pick up a box or two and report my pulls on a future entry here on SCB. Check out the images of the product below.
