I'm English, and living in Sweden... Not knowing anything about how sought after the Pelé Alifa ’rookie’ card is, I’ve put one up for auction on the Swedish eBay subsidiary, Tradera.
Not just Pelé - but ten other members of the 1958 Brazilian World Cup team from the same series - plus a team picture. More cards, with members of the Swedish and German teams are also included in the same lot.
The auction is open to international buyers and finishes on May 26th. At time of writing, the bidding is up to about $15(!) for all of it! The cards have not been glued into an album so the backs are clean and fresh looking - each with a short text in Swedish.

To see the back and front of the Pelé card, see this video on YouTube:

Knowing what I know now, I wish I could re-list the auction on eBay itself, but Tradera's rules don't allow me to end the auction prematurely. I'll be able to accept payment via PayPal. Shipping by registered mail.
I thought someone here might figure this was a good opportunity to get hold of this particular card (and all the others in the lot) for a reasonable price.
Best wishes,
Chris
