The player: Sebastian Giovinco

Sebastian Giovinco (Turin, January 26, 1987) is a former Italian forward and playmaker nicknamed La Formica Atomica (The Atomic Ant) for his explosive combination of small stature, speed, and superb technique. Having grown up in Juventus' youth academy, he found his full potential at Parma, where he played for two consecutive seasons between 2010 and 2012. In the 2011/2012 season, the one for this jersey, Giovinco wore the number 10 with the naturalness of a prodigy, finishing as the team's top scorer with 15 league goals and delivering top-level performances that earned him a call-up to the Italian national team for Euro 2012. In his career, he has played for Juventus, Empoli, Parma, Toronto FC, Al-Hilal, and Sampdoria, winning two Scudetti, the AFC Champions League, and the MLS Cup. His number 10 jersey with Parma represents the most intense and spectacular chapter of his career in Italy, making this Player Issued specimen a piece of enormous value for collectors.

What is a Player Issued jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit specifically prepared for a particular player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version by a series of precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, internal labels with the player's name and number, match-grade cut and materials, and exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. In this case, the internal T-energy label with the words Season 2011-2012 and Official Product confirms it belongs to the line reserved for professional Parma FC footballers. A Player Issued jersey is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of extremely high historical and commercial value, often impossible to find on the market years after its production.
