American Henry Barrios bought 300 packs of stickers to complete his album and found the rarity among them. The sticker was sold at Goldin Auctions in New Jersey. According to the auction company, Panini have printed a variation of the simple Messi sticker and this is the first time they have a 1of1 variation, meaning it’s truly oneofakind. “The sale price is due to the fact that Messi is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time and last year won the World Cup. However, timing is everything and the timing of the sale benefits since the product is new and desirable at the moment, but that doesn’t mean this card won’t increase in value in the future. It was a very fortunate find by our dispatcher,” a Goldin spokesman told the DailyMail portal. Despite the exorbitant amount, this isn’t the most expensive figure ever sold. a sticker from Diego Maradonafrom 1980, was auctioned in 2021 for 3 million BRL. Before that, the record for a figure was from skin from 1958 sold for BRL 1.5 million in 2020.
