Oops,I posted before adding that this is a second chance offer on EBAY for $82..Am a bit suspicious but if it is for real would pay the price.  The seller has used two IDs which makes me leery (listed below)  Just appreaciate any thoughts..I have a real autograph I got as a kid, but not sure as that one was obtained 35 yrs ago.

Looking at his past auctions, I would not recommend buying from this seller.

I won't, I just searched his first EBAY ID and he looks to be a fraud..I just hate this..I knew the price seemed too good to be true :)  Damn those frauds and criminals.  Thanks for getting back to me..I will not donate to his retirement fund :)

There are some people on this forum who know Pele more specifically, but I looked at that Rodgers (ick) and Manning right away, and it was a pretty easy call.  Premium sports autographs that don't look right and have no insight on how he got them . . .  If they were from signings, that would be easy to document (or authenticate).  If there weren't, then where'd they come from?  Shady at best,

Pele can be easy to forge but as discussed here before is not an easy autograph. A reputable seler usually is not gonna give it away. I think it is wise to avoid this one. Doesnt look too bad for a probable forgery.

The signature on the ball is fake, forgers usually get the P wrong and too much of a gap between the first 2 letters
