Dennis Bergkamp
Forward / Second Striker · Netherlands National Team (Oranje)
Topps UEFA Euro 2024 Match Attax #LSS 13
Year & Era
2024 — Modern/Chrome Era
Card Type
Legend Signature Style (Insert / Printed Signature)
Grade
7.5 - 8.0 (Near Mint) estimated
Rarity
Common Legend Insert. These are widely distributed in retail and hobby packs for the Euro 2024 Match Attax series.
Overall Assessment
A beautiful collector's piece for a Bergkamp fan or set builder, but strictly a budget-friendly 'filler' card rather than a high-end investment asset.
Condition Grade
7.5 - 8.0 (Near Mint) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front centering appears slightly heavy to the right; top-to-bottom seems consistent with the set's intentionally asymmetrical design.
Surface Condition
Visible surface scratches and scuffing, particularly in the holofoil areas; potential fingerprints and minor residue from handling.
Corner Condition
Upper left corner shows soft white wear; lower right corner is slightly blunted. Not a Gem Mint candidate.
Edge Condition
Minor chipping visible on the top edge and light silvering/roughness on the bottom right edge common with foil stock.
Print Quality
High-quality cold foil/holographic application; sharp image resolution; consistent color for the Netherlands jersey.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $15.00 USD (Raw). Not a high-value autographed card as the signature is part of the print (facsimile).
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy appears to have more surface wear and corner softening than average pack-pulled examples, making it a lower-tier copy for collectors.
Authentication Tips
This is a facsimile (printed) signature. Authentic examples are part of the card's surface layer. Verify the Topps hologram and Match Attax card stock thickness.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading ($15-$25) exceeds the current market value of the card.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; the card appears to be an authentic Topps Match Attax product intended for gameplay and collecting.
Provenance Notes
Part of the official UEFA Euro 2024 collection published by Topps, distributed globally via foil packs and starter kits.
Historical Context
Dennis Bergkamp is one of the most technically gifted players in history, known for his time at Arsenal and his iconic goals for the Netherlands in the 1994 and 1998 World Cups.
Market Trends
Demand for Bergkamp remains steady among Arsenal and Netherlands fans, but Match Attax inserts generally lose value quickly after the tournament cycle completes.
Investment Potential
Low. As a non-numbered, non-authentic auto insert from a mass-produced game set, it lacks the growth potential of high-end chrome or true rookie cards.
Similar Cards

Display & Preservation
Store in a standard penny sleeve and top loader. Avoid direct sunlight as the holographic foil is susceptible to fading and UV damage.
Interesting Facts
The 'Legend Signature Style' is a popular subset that pays homage to retired stars who defined the Euro tournaments; Bergkamp is featured for his 'Class of 92, 96, 00' appearances.
