MONTANA ROOKIE!!!... Noted for his ability to remain calm under pressure, Montana helped his teams to 31 fourth quarter come-from-behind wins. In the closing moments of the 1981 NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl XXIII, Montana threw game-winning touchdown passes.

The touchdown at the end of the championship game was so memorable that sports journalists, fans, and many others, refer to the play simply as "The Catch". The touchdown in the closing moments of Super Bowl XXIII came at the end of a 92-yard drive with only 36 seconds left on the game clock. Among Montana's many accomplishments, having his likeness appear on a card as pristine as the offered one has to be near the top of the list.

With factory fresh snow white borders and perfect untouched corners, it just doesn't get any better than this. Gem Mint condition.
