Input on authenticity of Pele autograph

Found this at an unusual place for a great deal and it looks legit to me, but I wanted other members of the autograph community's opinion.

Thanks Dan, meeting Pele as a young kid and actually kicking a ball around with him was an incredible experience. I cherish the items. Jack

I really do appreciate all of the information from everyone. Maybe it was the ball and the story the Heritage Auctions guy was looking at, and was just humoring me. So now, I guess I am right back where I started, not knowing.

It is on an older FIFA ball, and I think maybe the Heritage Auctions person was putting that into play.

Like I said before, I paid very little for it (I found it at a Goodwill, just staring at me) and figured I would be an idiot not to purchase it--it could be real, and it looked similar enough for me to take a low cost gamble.

I will never really know 100%, but if I am interested in ever selling it, I really do see the importance of getting it authenticated for everyone's peace of mind.

I still welcome any other conversation on this piece. Thanks again everyone.
