Pelè collection

Posts: 30 ✭
Hello everyone, I live in Italy and I am a collector of Pele' photos and cards. I want to show you my collection that I thought to sell in block because I have other hobbies to follow. As you can see there are some rare cards such as vav, edi, san giorgio, those produced in Germany or Sweden, as well as 3 albums of which two are complete (the one of life has some figurines detached with time but it is complete).
I also have some original photos, 4 from the 1958 World Cup, and the original ticket from the 1958 World Cup final in Sweden.
Can you help me to give an overall evaluation of the collection and also of individual cards or albums?
Thank you.

Congrats, you have some nice items in that collection. These items go up in value just about every day lately, so assigning a value is difficult. It would be easier to determine if you were to have them graded. I realize this is possibly an insurmountable challenge, since you live in Italy and seem to be unfamiliar with the process. Without seeing the cards much more closely, as well as getting quality views of the back sides, it would be just a rough guess at best on value, and I wouldn't feel very comfortable coming up with an under-informed number. If I were buying the collection, I'd have to assume all would grade 1's & 2's when determining an offer price unless quality scans were available. However, even in very low grade, the collection still has a lot of overall value. I have approx. 1200 PSA-graded Pele cards, so I'm pretty familiar with the items you have in your photos.
Nice collection! Especially love the ticket. Agree with everything miwlvrn said. Grading is tough enough here in the US because of long processing times. Can’t imagine trying to do it from overseas! Best bet might be selling things off as singles or smaller lots. Might be interested in a few myself!
