Description
1958 Americana LTDA. Pelé (Album Futebol - Hand Cut) PSA VG 3 - Pop Two, Four Higher. In 1958, the Americana LTDA. company produced a sticker album for collectors that featured players from the state league for Rio de Janeiro as well as the victorious Brazilian national team from that year's World Cup. Collectors could assemble 200 stickers and turn them into Americana's office in exchange for a number of prizes, including bikes, TVs, and washing machines among others. As a result, many of the prints issued did not survive individually. Those that have are viewed by many collectors as grails among early Pelé offerings.Often considered one of the greatest fútbol players in history, Pelé joined Santos FC as a 15-year old in 1956. He quickly developed into one of the league's most prolific scorers and attracted the attention of the Brazilian national team. By the age of 16, Pelé was already a frequent goal scorer at the Brazilian club level. He gained worldwide recognition as a goal-producing forward on Brazil's 1958 FIFA World Cup championship squad. In six total matches, Pelé scored six goals, which tied him for the second most of any player in the tournament. Additionally, he was named to the World Cup All-Star Team as one of the top 11 players at the World Cup. Pelé went on to help Brazil recapture the Jules Rimet trophy as World Cup champions in both 1962 and 1970. Offered is a surviving hand-cut example from the '58 Americana LTDA album, which boasts rich color and a respectable reverse. Graded PSA VG 3. Of the scant 20 examples found in the PSA Pop Report, this is one of only two cards graded VERY GOOD with just four rated higher.
Guide Value or Estimate: $30,000 - up.
