Signed Francesco Totti AS Roma 1998-99 Luxury Frame

Exclusive Memorabilia certified this signature, placing it on a Francesco Totti A.S. Roma shirt from the 1998-99 season, a fixed and specific point in the story of the man who would go on to score 250 Serie A goals in Roma colours, a club record that still stands. Totti made 619 appearances for Roma across his career, another record the club has never seen equalled, and in the 1998-99 season he was already the central figure around whom Roma built their attack, a midfielder and forward whose entire professional life was given to one city and one crest.

The shirt

Francesco Totti's signed A.S. Roma 1998-1999 Fanshop Authentic shirt is presented professionally framed, mounted behind museum glass in a museum-grade frame that is ready to hang. The shirt itself is the licensed retail version of the Roma kit from that season, manufactured to the same specification as the shirts worn on the pitch, and it has been framed as a permanent presentation piece rather than left folded in a sleeve.

Authentication and provenance

With certificate 17207 from Exclusive Memorabilia. Documented with a certificate of authenticity and a witnessed signing session. Signed 11 June 2023.

For the collector

The shirt belongs to the 1998-99 season, which places it at the very beginning of the period in which Totti would become the defining figure of Roma's modern era. He was born in 1976, which makes him twenty-two going into that campaign, old enough to carry genuine responsibility for the club but still building toward the player who would finish as Roma's all-time leading scorer with 250 Serie A goals and 619 appearances, both club records. What the 1998-99 shirt holds is that earlier version of Totti, the one becoming rather than already arrived. The records and the individual honours, including Serie A Footballer of the Year and Italian Footballer of the Year, came later, but their foundation was being laid in seasons exactly like this one. Collecting a shirt from 1998-99 is not collecting a tribute to those later peaks; it is collecting the moment before them, when the trajectory was still being written and Roma was the only club in the world that would ever matter to him.

Why Walkouts

Every piece in the Walkouts catalogue is authenticated by a recognised third party before it reaches a collector, and this shirt carries authentication from Exclusive Memorabilia, a specialist in football memorabilia provenance. That authentication is not a claim to accept on the basis of trust alone: Exclusive Memorabilia maintains records that a collector can look up directly, matching the certificate to this shirt and this signature, independent of anything Walkouts states. The check belongs to the collector, not to us.

Roma in 1998-99, Totti at the centre of it. Some shirts belong to a specific gravity in a player's story, and this is one of them.
