About this card
Pelé’s 2021 Leaf Pro Set Metal Soccer card is number S-05 in that release, in the Crystals Purple edition. Leaf’s Pro Set Metal line prints cards on metallic stock, and its color parallels, such as the Crystals versions, are separate editions.
Pelé’s rookie-labeled entry in this catalog is the 1958 Alifabolaget #635, so this later issue carries no rookie label.
How to identify it
Match both the color and the edition name, since parallels share the base number.
Crystals Purple is part of this card’s name: it marks an insert or parallel inside Leaf Pro Set Metal Soccer, and the number on its own can point to a different card.
In Pelé’s run

Raw / ungraded
- Match the issue
- Match the full year or season, release, number and named edition to this reference. Ask for readable images of the actual item’s front and back.
- Record visible condition
- Inspect corners, edges, centering and surface in suitable photographs or in person. Record damage or unanswered questions without assigning a predicted professional grade.
- Keep authentication separate
- Ungraded does not establish authenticity or mean “never authenticated.” A protective case alone does not establish a professional condition grade.
Professionally graded
- Read the complete label
- Record the grading company, exact issue, card grade and any qualifiers or designation. Keep an autograph grade separate from the card’s condition grade. An authentication-only designation may have no numeric condition grade.
- Compare the certification record
- Use the company’s official lookup and compare its issue details and available images with the actual item, label and holder. A matching certification number alone does not establish that an offered item is genuine.
- Compare within the stated scale
- Retain the company’s exact grade name and number. Different companies and grade designations are not automatically equivalent; a numeric label does not establish a current price.
A source-linked reference or historical scan does not authenticate the card you are considering. CardRoster supplies no assigned grade, certification or price for it.
