    Final Sale Price: $522,000<br><br>An all-time record for any Lionel Messi card. <a href="https://t.co/cQd6aJlUSU">pic.twitter.com/cQd6aJlUSU</a>

    The card was graded GEM MT PSA 10, per Goldin, and is the crown jewel for any Messi collector.

    Per the auction site, the set "was the first ever major release of a soccer product in the United States. This first Prizm set includes a depiction of Messi in his national Argentina kit. It is not hyperbole to write that this limited-edition piece rarely becomes available on the market. This gem is serial-numbered '02/10' on the back."

    A 2002-03 Panini Sport Mega Craques Cristiano Ronaldo also sold for $218,400 on Saturday, per Goldin.
