The pedigree is certainly present on this Lionel Messi card. The 1/1 comes from the first soccer set for Panini Flawless, one of the company's elite lines known for its elegance and luxury-level content. Not only does it have a Lionel Messi autograph, but it's on-card as well.
But there's more to this card as well. The 2015-16 Panini Flawless Soccer Flawless Finishes Gold Proof Emerald commemorates his memorable last-minute goal in the 2014 World Cup that lifted Argentina over Iran 1-0. Both the photo on the front and the write up on the back come from this iconic match.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 05/26/2026.
