Autographed Photo Zico – Udinese 1980s – Agfacolor Jersey – Original Autograph – COA Included

Zico's autographed photo in an Udinese jersey: a piece of Italian football history

A rare and highly collectible item: the original photograph depicting Arthur Antunes Coimbra, universally known as Zico, in full action in an Udinese white jersey, sponsored by Agfacolor, during his unforgettable experience in Serie A in the 1980s. The 29.5x21 cm format captures the athletic power and superb technique of the Brazilian champion in an authentic and visually striking action shot. Zico's original autograph is placed with a silver marker in the lower right corner of the photograph, with a fluid and perfectly legible stroke. Excellent condition, impeccable preservation. A piece that belongs to both Italian and Brazilian football history.

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. 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, with Zico capable of leading a provincial team to the top of the Italian championship with absolute top-level performances. Three times runner-up for the Ballon d'Or, he is now considered 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 was affixed directly to the print with documented provenance, without intermediaries. It differs significantly from printed reproductions or facsimiles by verifiable elements: the irregular and natural pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the medium, the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. In football collecting, an action photograph autographed by a champion like Zico — related to his very rare Italian experience with Udinese — represents a piece of exceptional historical value, virtually impossible to find on the market. The included MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and COA guarantee maximum protection for the collector.
