One-of-one Lionel Messi Century's Finest autograph pulled from a single hobby pack

Confirmed. A new dad bought one pack at a hobby shop and pulled a one-of-one Lionel Messi autograph, Fanatics Collect shared Wednesday.

What card did he pull?

A Topps Finest "Century's Finest" autograph of Messi in his Barcelona jersey, with Messi's signature on the card.

What does one-of-one mean?

A one-of-one, or 1/1, is the only copy of that card ever made.

Why is this pull so rare?

Messi is one of the most collected athletes in the world. Hitting his only copy of a card from a single pack is about as lucky as it gets.

Would you keep it for the kid or sell it?
