LONDON, United Kingdom (AFP) — Pele’s 1958 World Cup winners’ medal is expected to fetch £500,000 ($670,000) when it is auctioned in England later this month.
The medal, won by the Brazilian legend when he was a teenager, is part of a catalogue of 450 World Cup-related items being sold by sporting memorabilia specialists BUDDS, which estimates they will fetch £2 million in total.
A Brazil shirt won by Pele in the 1958 final is estimated to sell for more than $6 million in a separate auction at Sotheby’s in New York, which runs June 29 to July 16 — three days before this year’s World Cup final.
