This special edition of Manchete magazine, published in July 1971 and titled "Vida e Glória de Pelé" (Life and Glory of Pelé), traces the complete trajectory of the King of Football. Through texts, photographs, and an included vinyl record, the album explores Pelé's humble beginnings at Santos, his meteoric rise after the 1958 World Cup, his achievements with the Brazilian national team, as well as aspects of his personal and family life. It also highlights his international influence, celebrated by figures like Queen Elizabeth II, and his status as an absolute idol, even among the greatest players in history.
In the upper left corner of the first page, there is a handwritten autograph by the star, written with a blue pen. It is dedicated to a fan named Alberto, accompanied by an affectionate message:
To Alberto with a hug from Pelé.
This visual and auditory testimony, combined with this historic dedication, celebrates not only the athlete but also the man. Pelé's signatures from the 1970s are among the rarest and most valued by collectors.
