This Argentina home shirt was personally signed by Lionel Messi in an exclusive signing session organised and carried out by Icons with the Barcelona and Argentina forward in Barcelona on April 29, 2009. The shirt carries the number 10 that he has recently made his own, following in the steps of the great Maradona.

Messi is currently regarded as the best footballer in the world, and is expected to be the biggest star of the 2010 World Cup. He has already won an Olympic gold medal with Argentina and will hope to go one better in South Africa.

The shirt is part of a limited edition of only 35 shirts that he signed, making it an extremely rare item of sports memorabilia. It comes in presentation packaging with an official certificate of authenticity featuring an image of Messi signing the shirt. Icons is the only company that he signs memorabilia for.

Framing your shirt is an excellent way to protect and enhance your investment - and it will look great on your wall. We offer a high quality service in partnership with a specialist framing company and a choice of three frame colours - silver, gold and black.

If you are framing a shirt, we recommend you use our service. Framing shirts is a specialised skill that many standard framing companies are unable to offer. Furthermore, each shirt will be accompanied by two images of the player in action and a commemorative plaque.

We aim to have your product framed and dispatched within seven working days of your order, but at busy times it can take longer, so please allow 21 days. Please call or email customer services if you need delivery by a specific date.

* Please note, image shown may be an example.

If you choose to order the shirt unframed you will receive it in our exclusive and stylish black presentation packaging.

The packaging has been specifically designed to the highest standard to protect your shirt, and is perfect if you are sending or giving the shirt as a gift.

Inside the packaging you will find your Icons Certificate of Authenticity and an insert that displays details of the signing session with the player.

Our Certificates of Authenticity provide added peace of mind, displaying all the details of the signing session. The certificate displays the date of the signing, the location of the signing, and where available an image of the player signing.

On top of this our full company details are displayed and the certificate will be signed by a member of the Icons Management team.

The certificate will act as our 100% guarantee.
