We are excited to offer an exceptional highlight that originated from the Pelé Collection—a signed 1960 Miroir-Sprint football playing card featuring Pelé as the Ace of Diamonds. This remarkable card, issued by the French sports magazine Miroir Sprint in 1961, showcases not only Pelé's iconic status in the soccer world but also his enduring legacy. The card has been graded PSA EX 5 and boasts a PSA/DNA 10 autograph.
Pelé emerged from humble beginnings in Brazil in 1940. With a makeshift ball crafted from a sock stuffed with newspapers, he began honing his skills at a young age. By the age of seventeen, he had already etched his name in history as the youngest World Cup champion, a record that remains unbroken to this day.
Throughout his illustrious career, Pelé achieved extraordinary feats, winning six league titles and two Copa Libertadores trophies in Brazil, alongside securing two more World Cup victories. His journey later took him to the United States, where he played for the New York Cosmos, significantly enhancing the sport's profile in the country.
The Pelé Collection is not just an assortment of items; it is a curated representation of the soccer legend's unparalleled career. It includes some of his rarest trading cards and various memorabilia, each piece telling a story of triumph and dedication. What sets this collection apart is that every item was once owned by Pelé himself, making them truly unique artifacts of soccer history.
Each item in the collection has been meticulously authenticated by PSA and has been pedigreed "The Pelé Collection" by the firm.
Seize this rare moment to enrich your collection with an extraordinary piece from the Pelé Collection—a testament to the legacy of the man who changed the face of soccer forever.
