The world of sports memorabilia is about to get a lot more exciting! Sotheby’s is set to auction off a collection of Lionel Messi’s World Cup shirts, estimated to fetch over $10 million. The collection includes Messi’s shirts from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and the 2019 Copa America in Brazil.
The collection is being sold by Messi’s former teammate, Javier Mascherano, who has been collecting the shirts since they were first worn. Mascherano says that he wanted to keep the shirts as a reminder of his time playing alongside Messi, and that he hopes they will bring joy to the new owners.
The shirts are expected to be highly sought after by collectors, as they are a reminder of Messi’s incredible achievements on the world stage. The 2014 shirt is particularly special, as it was the first time Messi won the World Cup with Argentina. The 2018 shirt is also significant, as it was the first time Messi won the Golden Boot award for scoring the most goals in a World Cup tournament.
The auction will take place on June 15th, and is expected to draw a lot of attention from collectors around the world. It’s a unique opportunity to own a piece of history, and a reminder of one of the greatest players of all time. If you’re looking for a unique piece of sports memorabilia, this is an auction you won’t want to miss!
