For the collector

What draws a collector to this shirt is the authenticated signature of Kluivert at a specific point in his story. He would go on to become the Netherlands' all-time top scorer, finishing on 40 goals in 79 caps, a record that held until 2013, but the 1998-99 Barcelona season belongs to the years before that record was complete, when he was still building the case for that standing at the Camp Nou. The signed shirt ties you to him and that season through a verified connection you can trace yourself.
