Revista do Esporte No. 254 January 1963 Signed by Idols Garrincha and Jairzinho

A rare, historic piece of immense value for Brazilian football collectors, especially for bringing together in a single publication the autographs of Garrincha and Jairzinho, two of the greatest names in the history of the Brazilian National Team.

This is Revista do Esporte No. 254, from January 1963, an original period publication that preserves the record of Brazilian football during an extremely important period for the sport.

The great differentiator of this copy lies in the signatures of Garrincha and Jairzinho, transforming a sports magazine over six decades old into memorabilia directly linked to two idols who defined generations.

Garrincha, the legendary “Angel with Bent Legs,” enchanted the world with his dribbling and was the protagonist of Brazil's victories in the 1958 and 1962 World Cups. Jairzinho, in turn, became one of the National Team's greatest strikers and was a world champion in 1970, forming part of one of the most celebrated teams in football history.

The combination of original 1963 publication + autographs of Garrincha and Jairzinho makes this copy especially interesting for collectors of Brazilian football, the National Team, and historical memorabilia.

Curiosity

In the 1962 World Cup, Garrincha was one of the great protagonists of Brazil's second championship. Jairzinho was still taking his first steps with the main National Team and, years later, would go down in the history of the 1970 World Cup by scoring in all seven of Brazil's games, a feat that earned him the nickname “The World Cup Hurricane.”
