1966-67 Bergmann Automatenbilder Fussball Bundesliga Franz Beckenbauer, With Ball Signed Card - PSA NM 7, PSA/DNA NM-MT 8 Rookie RC Soccer Football Bayern Munchen Munich Graded NM 7 with Autograph Certified and graded NM-MT 8 by PSA/DNA (75965071). Among 24 copies of this piece recorded in PSA/DNA's census reporting, only two examples have achieved a higher tier. Franz Beckenbauer, perhaps the greatest central defender in the long history of global soccer, has contributed a black marker signature to the front of this well-preserved Bergmann Automatenbilder Fussball Bundesliga early career collectible. This German-issue piece was issued near the time of Beckenbauer's inaugural participation in the FIFA World Cup, in which "Der Kaiser" scored four goals for tournament runners-up West Germany; eight years later (and now donning the captain's armband), he shut down talismanic Dutch attacker Johan Cruyff in the final of the tournament's 1974 edition to deliver his nation its first World Cup title in 20 years. Beckenbauer—a three-time European Cup champion and two-time Ballon d'Or winner—will forever be revered for the integral role he played in the German soccer apparatus as a player, manager, and executive. The offered example displays a bright, fresh appearance, with a clear and well-defined central image and clean, white reverse.
