One of the iconic national teams of Mexico 86

Brazil arrived at the 1986 World Cup with a hugely talented squad, including several key players from the famous team at the 1982 World Cup in Spain.

This lot includes some of the most iconic names in Brazilian football of the era.

Zico is certainly one of the most important stickers in the series: one of the greatest number 10s in the history of Brazilian football and an icon of Flamengo.

Also featured is Sócrates, captain and leader of the historic Seleção of the early 1980s, as well as Falcão, who also made his mark in Italian football with Roma.

The group is rounded out by hugely important players such as Careca, Júnior, Toninho Cerezo, Edinho, Oscar, Casagrande, and Éder.

For this reason, the Brazil section is one of the most recognizable and collectible parts of the entire Panini Mexico 86 collection.

Condition

Overall, the stickers are in very good general condition, considering they are original items from 1986.

The front and back photographs show:

colors that are still very vivid;
sharp, well-preserved images;
generally clean front surfaces;
overall regular edges;
generally well-preserved corners;
metallic badge present and clearly legible;
team photograph present;
original Panini backs;
clearly legible numbering;
no obvious writing or notes;
no obvious signs of previous pasting;
complete series with no missing numbers.

There are normal, slight differences in condition from one sticker to another, entirely consistent with original material that is around forty years old. Some examples may show minor surface marks, slight irregularities to the corners or edges, small signs of handling, or slight color variations on the back.

The photographs show both the front and back of the entire series and form an integral part of the description. Buyers are therefore advised to examine them carefully to assess the condition, centering, corners, edges, and surfaces for themselves.
