I have one of these Alifabolaget cards that I have been looking to get signed for a few years. Haven't seen a signing since he cancelled at Steiner. Any leads on where I might find a signing?

Who the hell knows? A year ago, a “2” was probably a $1500 card. Now it could easily be 10X that or more. People talk about the boom in basketball but soccer has really gone through the roof the last six months.

Hi All!

I've not been too active here in a while, but I started a vintage soccer discord channel with about 100 members. If you want to join in our conversation, there are a lot of good people and I think we have accounted for over 30 Alifa Peles in the group so far.

It definitely isn't limited to only high end cards, though.

A PSA 1 sold for $18,333 on eBay over the weekend. The market seems crazy, but it definitely has room for growth. PSA has graded around 60, so considering how popular Pele is, I could see this trend to continue for quite some time. I plan to hold my signed one for a while.

I'm sorry I sold my Heinerle some years ago. Ah well, fuckit.

To be honest, I doubt he ever does another autograph signing. 2015 for Steiner was the last private signing that I’m aware of. He’s reclusive, has more money than he could ever spend, and is in poor health, so I would be shocked if he did another signing. I got him through the mail 5 times by sending $100 cash each time, but that was 2014-2017. I tried in 2018 and 2019 using the same method and never got a response. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful. Good luck in your search for a signed Alifabolaget. I had an extra at one point but sold it in 2018 for $8300, which seemed like a great price at the time. I’ve been offered $100k for the one I kept. I feel like his market still has a lot of room for growth.
