(25,610 posts)He's my fave qb of all time! I had such great times watching him win all those games with the Niners and then the Chiefs!

(1,060 posts)As a Washington football fan during that time I couldn't stand him but until Brady came along only he and Bradshaw had won four Superbowl Titles.

(5,267 posts)He won 3 Super Bowls with 3 different QBs. That feat was not done before, nor has it been done since.

(39,230 posts)I cant remember how many times he brought the team back from sure defeat with just two minutes on the clock.
It was nerve racking and exciting at the same time, week after week!

(24,901 posts)*I have his rookie card from when I was a kid. Not sure of its value today. Probably about a buck three-fifty.

(74,983 posts)I've seen PSA 7 rookie cards for him at $150-160.
Even PSA 4s have sold for nearly a hundred bucks.
But, the card market fluctuates so much, who knows until someone actually lays down cash for one.

(24,901 posts)I bought it screwed between two plastic protective coverings for $75 many years ago. Thought back then it might be my retirement ticket several decades later. LOL!

(74,983 posts)...a first run JM rookie card, at PSA 10 (and encased as you describe) sold for $37,200.
I have no idea how the know if it's first run or not, because I saw other PSA 10 cards that sold for $400.
Go figure!

The late great Dwight Clark, Huey's buddy (who had already been featured on the cover of Huey's smash hit Sports album), turned out to have some genuine chops and performed live with Huey Lewis & the News on stage.

A little amusing backstory bonus:
Morbius
(767 posts)All he did was win.
LisaM
(29,388 posts)No team ever felt safe if the game was close and Montana could win it with a two-minute drill.
Stats can be very phony, IMO. Carl Lewis didn't always set records. He just racked up a ton of medals.
