About this card

Franz Beckenbauer’s 1965 Bergmann Fussball Bundesliga sticker is number 259 in that release. Stickers were printed with a peel-off backing, and many were sold to fill a collector’s album, so a lot of surviving copies were stuck down at some point.

It carries no rookie label. That is not a claim either way: the catalog adds the label only when a cited source supports it.

How to identify it

Check whether the backing paper is intact, because an unused sticker and one that was stuck down and lifted are different objects to a collector. Stickers are thin and crease easily, so look closely at the corners and surface.

Raw or graded. Inspect the actual copy.

The issue stays 1965 · Bergmann Fussball Bundesliga. These are research checks, not a condition assessment of a specimen.

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.
