This card commemorates Messi’s goal in the 2009 Champions League Final — Barcelona’s second against Manchester United, sealing a 2-0 victory and his first Champions League title as an active finalist. One of the defining moments of the greatest career in football history, captured in one of his earliest certified autograph releases.

Autographs were case hits in this product — one per every 20-box case. Only three PSA 10 copies exist across the entire population.

Icons has maintained an exclusive autograph deal with Messi for over a decade, making this one of the most legitimate and significant Messi autos in the hobby.

Superfractors represent the absolute apex of the modern chrome hierarchy. As the final and highest parallel in the product structure, they’re the true end of the rainbow — unique by design, unreproducible, and unmatched in rarity.
