What is an original autographed dedication?

An original autographed dedication is a personalized text handwritten by the footballer followed by their signature, affixed to the item with certified presence. It differs from a simple signature by its superior emotional and collector's value: the dedication transforms the piece into a unique and unrepeatable document, with the name of the original recipient and a personal message. In this case, the photograph features "To Mario with great esteem Recoba," with the natural pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the paper, and the spontaneity of the graphic gesture typical of autographs affixed live. The free MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) included declares the origin and veracity of the autograph.
