At 37 years old, Lionel Messi is still leaving his mark on the world of soccer. Widely considered one of the greatest players of all time, Messi now plays for Inter Miami in Major League Soccer when he’s not representing Argentina on the international stage.
Messi holds the record as Argentina’s all-time leading goal scorer — just one of many accolades in his legendary career.
Now, he’s part of a truly one-of-a-kind collector’s item. On Monday, Topps announced the release of a unique quad autograph card featuring Messi’s signature alongside three other FC Barcelona legends. The company described it as:
"FIRST LOOK: Four FC Barcelona legends unite for an epic 1/1 quad autograph."
For longtime collectors, this is a dream card. With only one in existence, excitement is building ahead of the product’s official release.

Messi, famously wearing the No. 10 jersey, joined Inter Miami in 2023. He signed a two-and-a-half-year deal on July 15 and quickly made an impact. In his first six games, he scored nine goals and helped lead the team to its first-ever trophy, winning the Leagues Cup against Nashville SC.
His MLS debut came against the New York Red Bulls. Despite Messi’s heroics, Inter Miami missed the playoffs that season. Still, he was named Time's Athlete of the Year, becoming the first soccer player ever to receive the honor.
In 2024, Messi made more history. He set a record with five assists in a single MLS match, a 6-2 win over New York. Miami reached the playoffs but was eliminated in the first round by Atlanta United FC. Messi was later named league MVP for his performance throughout the season.
This year, he became the fastest player in MLS history to reach 40 career goals.
