The card, which the seller obtained by chance in a packet of trading cards, has an estimated value of €18,000 - €20,000.
Madrid, 28 October 2025 – Since his debut just two years ago, Lamine Yamal, the 2007 born talent has already become one of the most recognised footballers in the world, something that is reflected not only in statistics and titles, but also in his market value and collectors' passion for the new icon of world football. Now, fans of the F.C. Barcelona winger can get their hands on a unique item: a rookie edition trading card signed by Lamine Yamal, exclusively auctioned on Catawiki, the leading marketplace for special items.
Between 25 October and 8 November, football fans and collectors will be able to bid on this special 1/1 edition. This piece from the DAKA Autographs 2023-24 set features a Rainbow Holocene finish, an official autograph from the footballer, and has been graded by CGC with the highest rating of GEM MINT 10, meaning it is in perfect condition.
This is a unique trading card, which the seller obtained by chance when opening a pack of cards. Luck was on the side of this Italy-based collector, who ended up with a real treasure whose value is currently estimated between €18,000 and €20,000.
An investment in the future of football
Since his debut in the 2023/2024 season, commemorated in this “rookie” card, Yamal has risen to become one of the best footballers in the world. In his debut with F.C. Barcelona's first team, he became the youngest player to play in an official match with Barça, and in his first full season, he was elected the best young footballer in the world, winning the Kopa Trophy awarded by France Football and the Golden Boy Award. In 2025, he became the only footballer to win the Kopa consecutively, and he was awarded as the second-best player in the world after being among the favorites to win the Ballon D’or. In short, his trophy cabinet speaks for itself: there is no shortage of honours that recognise Yamal’s talent!
‘Lamine Yamal has already become the most famous footballer in the world today,’ explains Ugo Pelloni, sports expert at Catawiki. ‘Yamal's potential to continue growing and winning titles is immense. This piece is not only a unique collector's item but also something with solid appreciation potential.’
