Pelé
Soccer · Santos FC · Forward
Pelé's essential card is the 1958 Alifabolaget #635 rookie, the card that became soccer's first seven-figure sale, though the top grade is PSA 9 and no PSA 10 exists. Beyond that, the hobby leans on the 1958 Brazilian rookie variants, modern autographs such as the 2022 Panini Prizm World Cup Signatures, and the 2026 World Cup Prizm inserts, which are trading actively now. Most modern comps are a few months old, and vintage raw prices are thin, so treat the figures as indicative.
Prices are recent sales we found on Oct 8, 2026 and refresh weekly while people are looking. Check the sold prices before you buy.
