Signed Photo Zico – Bicycle Kick Brazil Jersey – Original Autograph – COA Included

Zico's autographed photo: the bicycle kick in a Brazil jersey

An extraordinary image with a powerful visual impact, freezing one of the most spectacular technical moves in world football into a perfect frame: Zico in full bicycle kick, body suspended, eyes focused on the ball, in the yellow jersey of the Brazilian national team. The packed stadium in the background—deliberately blurred—amplifies the absolute prominence of the Carioca champion in action. The 29.7×21 cm format reproduces every detail of the scene with extraordinary clarity. Zico's original autograph is placed with a silver marker in the lower right corner of the photograph, with a fluid and clearly legible stroke on the green of the grass. Excellent condition, impeccable preservation. A unique collectible that combines the aesthetic beauty of an iconic shot with the collectible value of a certified autograph.

The protagonist: Zico

Arthur Antunes Coimbra, known as Zico (Rio de Janeiro, March 3, 1953), is considered one of the greatest Brazilian footballers of all time and among the strongest attacking midfielders in the history of world football. Nicknamed the White Pelé for his extraordinary technical skills, he spent the best part of his career with Flamengo, with whom he won four Brazilian championships and the 1981 Copa Libertadores. With the Brazilian national team, he played in three World Cups—Argentina 1978, Spain 1982, and Mexico 1986—becoming the symbol of a Brazil capable of total and spectacular football, particularly in the legendary 1982 edition. His Italian adventure with Udinese—in the 1983/84 and 1984/85 seasons—represented one of the most fascinating episodes of imported football in Serie A. Three times a runner-up for the Ballon d'Or, he is now among the top ten players in the history of world football.

What is an original autographed photograph?

An original autographed photograph is a unique historical and collectible document where the signature of the protagonist has been directly applied to the print with documented provenance, without intermediaries. It is distinctly different from printed reproductions or facsimiles due to verifiable elements: the irregular and natural pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the medium, and the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. In football collecting, an autographed photograph by a champion like Zico—especially one depicting an iconic technical move like a bicycle kick in a Brazil jersey—represents a piece of exceptional rarity and value. The included MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and COA guarantee maximum protection for the collector.
