Why Eminence matters
Eminence is Panini's ultra-premium brand, the label it uses for its scarcest, most expensive releases. In soccer, 2018 Eminence offered patch autographs of the world's biggest stars in tiny print runs. A Gold version numbered to five is one step below the one-of-one.
Why Messi matters to collectors
Lionel Messi is widely regarded as one of the greatest soccer players ever. He has won the Ballon d'Or a record eight times. He captained Argentina to the 2022 FIFA World Cup title and won the tournament's Golden Ball, and he also led Argentina to Copa América titles in 2021 and 2024. After his legendary career at Barcelona and a stint at Paris Saint-Germain, he joined Inter Miami in 2023, bringing huge attention to Major League Soccer and to soccer cards in the United States.
For collectors, Messi autographs are the blue chip of soccer: the most recognized name in the world's most popular sport.
