Pele is the "Michael Jordan" of soccer and has trancendent appeal to all generations of fans. We could fill up a page with his accomplishments on the field, as well as his cultural impact off of it.
Instead we will focus on this incredible 1970 match worn jersey that checks all the boxes for provenance and authentication. We are proud to present it for auction. Soccer collectibles continue to grow in popularity and a significant vintage, signed jersey of a player of Pele's stature doesn't come along every day.
MEARS has given the jersey an A10! JSA has authenticated Pele's special penmanship for the autograph.
If that is not enough, there is a LOA from the Brazilan soccer family who had the jersey in their personal archives for decades. It was originally gifted to Manuel Francisco dos Santos, best known as simply "Garrincha", who was a Brazilian legend, is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, and by some, the greatest dribbler ever.
Wow!
