It all started in 1997 with a Questra Europa from Euro '96, my first acquisition.

From that day on, I never stopped asking myself questions: what differentiated one official ball from another, what was the story behind it, why was it so difficult to find reliable information...

Thirty years later, those questions continue to guide every decision, and I've learned that collecting cannot be an act of faith, which is why Footballs Legacy exists.

For collectors of all levels, enthusiasts, and investors.

The memorabilia market is rife with replicas sold as originals, inflated prices, and unreliable sellers. I've created this guide to help you start or improve your collection without falling victim to scams. You'll discover where to begin, which pieces appreciate in value, which ones to avoid, common mistakes, and how to preserve your investment.

To celebrate the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, the United States, and Mexico, a unique editorial work has been created to honor the memory of football through its most iconic pieces.
