Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer, in a Rookie Card portrayal. This is the only example at its tier (with nine graded higher) among a total of ninety-one copies recorded in PSA's census reporting. Offered here is a valuable commemorative of the great Pelé, shown in an internationally prized, Swedish-issue trading card appearance. (The two-player depiction is shared with another Brazilian star, Manoel Francisco Santos.) Text on the card's back refers to the 1958 World Cup, which Brazil won by defeating host country Sweden, 5-2. The contest dramatically accelerated Pelé's career trajectory and cemented his reputation, effectively inaugurating the young star's enduring status as soccer's "Greatest Of All Time." This high-grade example stands as an extremely elusive, historically significant Pelé commemorative. Near Mint to Mint condition.
