Franz-Josef Achterkamp makes 170 euros selling a picture postcard signed by Borussia Dortmund players
In 1955, Franz-Josef Achterkamp (79) was at a training camp at the Kaiserau Sports School with a youth soccer team from SV Mesum. This is what the veteran of Mesum told today in the program Bares für Rares. As de coincidence would have it, the players of Borussia Dortmund at the same time there a training camp and small Franz-Josef collected autographs diligently. “That was exactly the team that became German champion for the first time in 1956” Achterkamp chatted out of the sewing box. 70 euros should bring the sale at the dealers, he wished, “for each of my seven grandchildren a tenner,” said Achterkamp. Expert Detlev Kümmel valued the good piece higher, at 100 to 150 euros. Now dealer Julian Schmitz-Avila is known to be a self-confessed BvB fan and wanted the card badly. 170 euros was his highest bid, which Franz-Josef Achterkamp accepted with a smile.
