*VERY RARE* 1968 Panini Calciatori VALIDA Back Pele PSA 2 LOW POP

Description: DESCRIPTION: Here is a very rare VALIDA back variation of Pele's 1968 Panini Calciatori card graded PSA 2. The VALIDA back variations are MUCH more difficult to find. As of the day this was listed, the PSA Population Report shows 112 1968 Panini Pele's graded compared to only 29 VALIDA Back 1968 Panini Pele's! Over the years I've received many questions the Valida and Bisvalida back card variations and their premium value. Here is a little background provided from some Italian collectors. The Valida and Bisvalida were redemption cards that could be sent in to Panini to redeem for prizes like Soccer Shirts, Balls, shoes. There was some variation from year to year and between sets, but generally, the Panini cards were packed out with 4 cards per pack, 1 of which was a Valida or Bisvalida card. The Valida back card was worth 1 point and Bisvalida (Bis = 2 in latin) worth 2 points. Prizes usually required several hundred points so many of these cards were redeemed. This means that although 25% or so cards issued were Valida-Bisvalida, after redemptions, drastically fewer are available. For many of the 1960s issues in particular, Valida and Bisvalida back variations of stars are extremely hard to find. For many collectors these variations are the last cards they buy to fill out their collections since they are so difficult to find in high grade. I've been asked about shipping in the past so let me say this. I ship expensive cards with Registered Mail. This takes 10-14 days on average for delivery. It is by far the safest way to ship as the card is under lock and key the entire way to you, which is why it takes longer for delivery. Also, I do not make money on shippinig. I charge enough to make sure the the package is shipped and fully insured based on actual weight and value. If there are any extra shipping charges left over, I always refund them to the buyer. CONDITION: As graded SHIPPING: All items are shipped with a minimum of bubble envelope security Combined shipping for multiple items is available Specific/alternate shipping options are available upon request Insurance is included with all shipments Contact me if you have any questions
