Graded 40 VG 3 by SGC. National Soccer Hall of Fame and International Football Hall of Fame enshrinee. The superlative Edson Arantes do Nascimento, known to the world as Pele, shines in cartoon form while wearing his Brazil kit on this 1966 Reddish Maid “International Footballers of Today” offering. The most prolific goalscorer in soccer history, and Brazil’s all-time leading scorer, Pele played in his third consecutive FIFA World Cup in 1966. A magnificent dribbler and creator with a nose for goal, Pele starred domestically for Santos in Brazil during this period of his career, with the decorated superstar still nine years away from his historic move to New York Cosmos in the United States. Recognized across the globe as the greatest footballer to ever live, this whimsical Reddish Maid offering is a thrilling memento of an incomparable career. Very Good condition.
