It's a 20x28 Limited Edition framed Lithograph autographed by Pele. The costs of the signed print of the art without the framing is $1,625.00.

The art was commissioned in 1995 and painted by artist Michael Dudash.

Born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, the world discovered Pele in Sweden in 1958 as the 17 year old boy brought home the first of Brazil's World Cup titles. He concluded his legendary career almost 20 years later, finishing with 1,282 goals in 1,364 games. Off the field, Pele has been an ambassador of the game and International Peace. In 1978 he received the International Peace Award, and in 1980, an international panel named him Sportsman of the Century. Still an international icon wherever he travels, Pele individually signed 1,282 prints, which represents the total number of goals he scored in his career.

Michael Dudash captures the brilliant ball handling and genius that was the magic of Pele in his art. Dudash is an acclaimed American artist having drawn posters for such Hollywood blockbusters such as Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz, Pocahontas, and Batman. Dudash has also signed each print. If you are wondering how we got our hands on these limited edition prints it all goes back to when we hosted Soccer Expo 97 and found the folks who commissioned the art who attended our show. We bought a few prints back then and still have a few left. If you were lucky enough to purchase one from us at under $500.00, congratulations, the value of your purchase has gone up as the signed print is now selling for $1,695.00US on the Internet.

A signed Pele Autographed print will make your rec. room stand out as you invite friends to watch the 2010 World Cup. Will Pele's team, Brazil, win for the 6th time?
