João Simões 36/50 – Autograph Gold Mojo (AU-SS) – 2024/25 Topps Merlin UEFA Club Competitions

João Simões 36/50, an "Autograph" card (AU-SS) from 2024/25 Topps Merlin UEFA Club Competitions in the Gold Mojo parallel — numbered to 50, with the distinctive repeating mojo refractor lattice across the gold surface (confirmed by close inspection; a plain Gold /50 twin also exists in this insert). A rookie card, signed on a clear authentication sticker, showing the midfielder in Sporting CP's white away kit. Raw (ungraded).

Simões is one of Sporting's brightest academy products: a defensive midfielder born in 2007 who extended his contract to 2030 in July 2025, played over 30 games including the Champions League in 2025/26, and debuted for Portugal's U21s.
