maryportfuncity 10,636 Posted November 29, 2014 Apparently nowhere near life-threateningly ill but - for all that - clearly on the wrong forum. Can some mod, like, move this to rub shoulders with Jimmy Savile, CSNY and the rest, we'll need this thread for real when the man's health really starts to slip. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a rule such a tonnage at one go would saturate the market and drive down individual prices but this is Pele and some of the stuff - like the replica of the original World Cup and his three winners medals - is the kind of nailed-on visitor attraction/ rarity that'll guarantee serious bidding. They reckon $5 million, eh? Seems do-able Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,636 Posted June 2, 2016 On the news last night Pele was fairly articulate - despite his famous struggle to speak English the way others do - about money for social projects and the level of need in Brazil. He's giving summat back, and ain't on his way to line up with George Best anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
