I thought...
The the ALFA was the best Pele rookie card for a number of reasons:
1. It was clearly published in 1958 at the World Cup in Sweden 2. It is on cardboard stock 3. It was Pele's international "stardom" moment when the world recognized him as the talent that he was. Although I very much love the design of the Quigol, I am pretty sure that it was not actually issued in 1958 based on my research. It is more likely a 1959-60 issue from what I can tell. BUT, the market has "voted" in terms of value and the Pele Quigol is the only soccer card that I am aware of that has sold for more than $10k USD. I also like the Titulares cards from Brazil, which I do believe are from 1958. Also the VAV card from Italy is from 1958 and given its relative rarity when compared to the other issues from 1958, I really like it as well.
