Rare 1958 Swedish rookie card of Pele, the 17-year-old prodigy who led Brazil to the World Cup championship

Graded by PSA GOOD 2. Remarkable rookie card of Pele issued by the Swedish trading card company in 1958, the year that the young phenom led Brazil to the 1958 FIFA World Cup title. The card shows the 17-year old prodigy in his iconic blue Team Brazil kit and features a brief biography in Swedish on the reverse, citing his excellent World Cup play—he scored in all three of Brazil's knockout games. One of the most sought-after and significant soccer cards ever issued, this example presents much more attractively than its technical grade.
