The Incredible 1958 Quigol - BGS 5.5 This listing is for a card of unlimited potential. At present, it is only held back by awareness within the general public as only the most savvy collectors know of it. It's current price is supported by this small informed group. To date, only a handful of these Brazilian made gems exist and only one has attained the elite grade of Excellent+ by the most critical grader in the business, Beckett (BGS/BVG). This card is simply unbelievable when you consider that it is nearly 50 Years old and that most of these already short printed cards were glued into albums. Not this one. The subgrades are Centering 6, Corners 5, Edges 5.5, and Surface 6. It's already the highest grade ever for this card. It's hard to imagine a card with more explosive potential than this rookie card of one of the most famous athletes of all-time. Pele stands ahead of even the most popular of athletes. This is the first known rookie card and is not cut from the front of some magazine. This was always meant to be a card. If you want first, you've found it. One must wonder what it will take for this card to be known among the general public as other legendary cards are? Will it be Pele's death and the inevitable rush into his autographs and short printed items? Maybe. It happened with auto racing's most popular driver and he wasn't anywhere near as popular as Pele is. Right now, the card is held back only by it's rarity, there just aren't enough available to build awareness. But there is this beautiful BGS/BVG 5.5 at a price that only begins to reflect it's potential compared to other less rare cards of famous athletes. You are unlikely to see another like this. *** The Pele Rookie Card.
