Just noticed a post from Futbol_Cards on another forum, an official Messi card collection. Made by Icons.com , cards are only distributed out of Japan though. Hopefully they don't just stop with Messi...

Yeah I saw these a few days ago on eBay, I might give the 2013 Futera Unique a miss and go for these instead.

Select? More like Topps UK or Panini Europe. With the EPL licence Topps has and the Champions League that Panini has, they should be the ones giving us high end cards.

Was more making a comparison with the AFL side of things mate - for example James Hird, Gary Ablett Snr, Ron Barassi. Even a 3-card set of those players would be amazing as a release.

In that case, that's a great idea.

We can keep on dreaming with Select

This looks like an interesting release..Does Icons have the license to use the Barcelona and Argentina images for their release?

Icons already sells signed pics of Messi in his kit, as well as signed shirts, so presume it would be under the same licence to do so? Not sure how all that works myself...

you could easily argue but i think, G.O.A.T
NBA: MJ
Tennis: Federer or Rod Laver? Argue?? lol
Golf: Tiger
Boxing: Some say Ali? others say Rocky Marciano? recent trainers say Manny Pacquiao could come close due to having so many titles in different weight divisions while defending them multiple times
AFL: James hird

But i dont think there is much of an argement for Soccer: in my opinion Messi has already accoplished amazing things besides a world cup, could we say this guy is going to be a GOAT?

No doubt he's one of the best ever. Better than Pele or Maradona? Not yet I don't think, (just ask them).

That's if the Japanese market doesn't buy them all up before they hit eBay i.e 2001 Panini Calcio etc...

These now available on the icons.com website: http://www.icons.com/official_messi_card_collection/Profile

Should be noted though that this particular set doesn't have any inserts, which is a shame. The set with the autographs/jerseys only available through that Japanese retailer.
