Recent Sales
Mint copies of this specific Top Master card have sold for $50-$80, but the current condition of this card significantly reduces its value to the lower end of the hobbyist market.
Condition Details
There is significant visible wear along the edges, particularly the right edge which shows whitening and chipping. The corners appear rounded or slightly frayed. Surface micro-scratches are visible across the holographic foil, and there are several small nicks consistent with handling without a sleeve.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The visible edge wear and corner softening would likely result in a grade of 5 or 6, which would not exceed the cost of the grading service for this specific modern collectible.
Card Description
Features Lionel Messi for Argentina. Statistics include: Attack 100, Defense 100, Control 100, and a Total score of 300. Part of the Top Master subset meant for high-power gameplay in the Adrenalyn XL system.
Notable Features
Features a vertical striped holographic foil pattern with a translucent 'Ghost' secondary image of the player in the background. Includes the 'RARE' box logo identifying its Top Master status.
Authentication Notes
The print quality, specific foil pattern alignment, and layout of the stats icons match authentic Panini Adrenalyn XL production for the 'Road to Qatar' series. No major red flags for counterfeiting, though condition is poor.
