According to cllct.com, a Panini star card for Messi's debut season (2004/05 season) was recently sold for $1.5 million, which broke the auction record of football star card.
Public information shows that the highest auction price of the football star card was Pele's 1958 star card, which was sold for US$1.33 million in 2022.
On October 16, 2004, 17-year-old Messi made his official first game debut in Barcelona, starting his legendary career.
