GUEST: Pele's last game, he played half for the Santos, half for Cosmos.

My mother was able to get me into the tunnel where the players were lining up.

Pele was there, and it was a different world, different era.

He was able to get the ball, sign it for us, and I took some pictures with him.

And then I've had the ball since.

APPRAISER: Amazing, and, uh, this was at the Meadowlands.

GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: I was at the game, too.

How about that?

Pele's, international icon.

The Cosmos were a soccer team in New Jersey in 1970s, 1980s, part of the North American Soccer League.

And when Pele came to North America to play for the Cosmos, it was a huge deal.

It was, like, the biggest deal.

GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: Pele signed a lot of stuff over the years.

The fact that it's not signed to you directly actually gives it more value.

GUEST: Oh.

APPRAISER: And today, a ball like this, vintage signature, $2,000 to $3,000.

GUEST: Wow, wow.

GUEST: (chuckles) Oh.

That's great.

APPRAISER: Yeah.

GUEST: It's good to know-- but you know what?

APPRAISER: Yeah.

GUSET: I'll never sell it.

APPRAISER: No...

GUEST: It's going to be with me for a long time.

And then with this guy.

APPRAISER: And then with you, right?

Beautiful piece.
