Introduction
The Alifabolaget set dates way back to 1949. The 1958 instalment includes stickers related to the World Cup and includes stickers numbered between 615 to 650. Swedish, Brazilian, West German, and Welsh players form part of the set.
The stickers 1 to 614 in this set are from past years and feature domestic Swedish players and are not a part of the World Cup print run
The Alifabolaget set is often considered one of the most iconic sets in the entire soccer card collecting hobby. This is because it contains the holy grail of the hobby: 1958 Alifabolaget Pele #635. The Pele will cost the buyer at least five digits even in the lowest grade.
As of 2021, the Alifabolaget Pele is the most expensive soccer card of all time. The PSA 9 Pele sold for $900'000 on November 11, 2021.
