Beckett Authentication Services graded this signature 6 out of 10, placing it in the documented, verifiable record of Francesco Totti's final season in professional football. The shirt is a Match-Issued Roma piece from 2016-17, the year Totti collected the UEFA President's Award and closed out a career that produced 250 Serie A goals for the club, 619 Roma appearances, and 69 Serie A penalties, surpassing Roberto Baggio's long-standing record. Those figures belong to 2017, to this season, to the player at the end of something irretrievable. The signature sits on the back, on the number.
The shirt
This is a genuine match-issued Francesco Totti shirt from A.S. Roma's 2016-17 season, prepared and issued from the club's matchday allocation rather than sourced through retail channels. On-pitch wear during any specific fixture is not documented. What is documented is the signature, and the shirt itself: a real piece of Roma's kit from that season, carrying the name of the man who was, by 2016-17, in the final chapter of an extraordinary one-club story.
Authentication and provenance
With certificate BS92797 from Beckett. Documented with a certificate of authenticity and a grade of 6 out of 10.
For the collector
The 2016-17 season was Francesco Totti's last at Roma, and the facts around it are not modest ones. He finished his career as Roma's all-time top scorer with 250 Serie A goals, their all-time appearance record holder with 619 games, and the holder of the Serie A record for penalty goals at 69, surpassing Roberto Baggio. UEFA recognised the entirety of what he represented with the President's Award in 2017. Those numbers belong to a single club across a single career, which is the rarer achievement underneath them. A match-issued shirt from that final season is not a retrospective tribute; it is a document from the window itself, the last year those records were still being written at the Stadio Olimpico. Collectors who want to anchor to Totti do not need a later replica or an undated piece: this shirt places them inside the season where the story closed.

Why Walkouts
The proof is yours to check. Beckett examined this Francesco Totti A.S. Roma match-issued shirt and issued a certificate that stays on record in their public database, verifiable at any time against the shirt in your hands. What Beckett records does not age or fade: the authentication is a permanent entry, not a document that loses meaning once the sale is done. Roma, Totti, the 2016-17 season, issued for the pitch, confirmed by an authenticator whose findings any collector can reach independently. That is the foundation the shirt stands on.
A shirt from Francesco Totti's final season at A.S. Roma belongs to a particular kind of collector, one who understands that some moments in football close quietly and that the objects tied to them do not reappear.
