Lot Of (50) Pele Signed Brazil CBD Jersey's (Beckett)


At a time when soccer did not enjoy the growing popularity that it currently enjoys in the USA, one name still transcended all bounds. Edison Arantes do Nascimento, more commonly known as Pelé, is widely regarded as one of the best soccer players of all time. Offered here are 50 yellow cotton CBD (Confederação Brasileira de Desportos, or Brazilian Sport Confederation) soccer jerseys that have a CBD patch on the front left breast, with Pelé's name and #10 screen-printed on the back in dark green. “PELE” is screen-printed in dark green above his number and the soccer icon has autographed his name vertically on the “1” of each jersey in his distinctive style. Each jersey has been authenticated and comes with individual COAs from Beckett Authentication.
