During the "Era Pelé", which spanned three decades, the iconic Brazilian footballer left an indelible mark on the sport. This white Pelé Santos jersey dates to his final season of 1973-74 with the club he helped make famous, a 18-year tenure that began in 1956 when he was just 15 years old. While it bears some signs of possibly being worn, including a couple soiling spots on the upper torso, the overall clean condition for its half-century age indicates most likely a team/match-issued example. The most notable feature is the 9/10 black marker autograph and inscription ("Do Amigo") from Pelé" himself on the front, adjacent to Santos Futebol Clube (S.F.C.). crest patch. His iconic number "10" is embroidered on the back in black, and the collar tag indicates that the jersey was made by "Uma Malha Athleta." The open-collar design with elastic hemmed sleeve-ends is a proper late-career style. No size is indicated, but it measures appropriately to Pele's fit according to the jersey authentication paperwork. Accompanied by a Beckett LOA for the signature and a MEARS LOA with a team-issued designation.
