THE MOMENT

Reaches 20 career World Cup goals

A late-career record card with visible early demand. It ranks below the final and award cards because it records a waypoint rather than the tournament’s closing chapter.

DIRECT ANSWERS

4 facts to check.

Short answers drawn from the exact record and the evidence shown on this page.

What is the exact identity of the Lionel Messi card?

It is 2026 FIFA World Cup #196, Base, in Raw format, published by Panini.

What is the print run of Lionel Messi Panini Instant #196?

We could not access the publisher page at the last check. The print run remains unverified.

What is the latest verified sale of this exact card?

We have not yet captured an inspectable exact completed sale. Active listings are not used as value.

How is this card's ICX Moment Score calculated?

The formula is 0.15A + 0.15M + 0.30C + 0.25S + 0.15L. scarcity and liquidity remains pending, so ICX publishes a provisional 39–79/100 range without inventing a midpoint. It is not a price range.
