As soccer cards surged in popularity in the 2010s, Panini brought its high-end sports card offerings, including Noir, to the pitch for the first time. Each 10-card box of Noir soccer included three autographs from a range of sets, including the nine-player Spotlight Signatures checklist. Of all the players who deserved the spotlight, perhaps none continue to shine as brightly as Lionel Messi both on the field and in the market.
Limited to a print run /25, Spotlight Signatures cards feature a bold design from which the superstars pop. Add in a gold-ink on-card autograph, and you have a stunning piece.
The dark aesthetic makes for an extremely condition-sensitive set. This dual-grade NM-MT PSA 8 with a 10 autograph is a pop 1 in the company's registry with just one copy ranking higher.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 04/28/2026.
