Wilbert Montgomery — the Philadelphia Eagles running back who became one of the most beloved players in franchise history, the man who scored the most famous touchdown in Eagles playoff history, and the leader of the backfield that carried Philadelphia to Super Bowl XV — appears on this 1982 Topps card, PSA-certified at 8 NEAR MINT.

Growing up in the Delta, Montgomery developed the running instincts and contact balance that made him exceptional in traffic, and he played his college football at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas — a small Christian university whose football program has produced NFL players across multiple generations. The Philadelphia Eagles selected Montgomery in the sixth round of the 1977 NFL Draft — a draft position that suggested backup status — and Montgomery immediately demonstrated that the sixth-round evaluation was incorrect. The 1982 Topps #452 PSA 8 NEAR MINT card captures Montgomery in the middle of his most productive Eagles years, during a season interrupted by the players' strike that reduced the 1982 NFL season to nine games.

On the Eagles' second offensive play of the game, Montgomery took a handoff from quarterback Ron Jaworski and ran 42 yards through the Dallas defense to score the game's first touchdown — a run that is still celebrated as the most iconic play in Philadelphia Eagles playoff history. The Eagles won the NFC Championship that day, advancing to Super Bowl XV in New Orleans, where they faced the Oakland Raiders. The championship run that Montgomery's legs powered remains the most successful postseason in Eagles history until the 2017 Super Bowl championship. The 1982 Topps #452 PSA 8 NEAR MINT is the high-grade vintage card document of the running back who made that run.

Montgomery played his college football at Abilene Christian University before the Philadelphia Eagles selected him in the sixth round of the 1977 NFL Draft, and the running back who arrived in Philadelphia as a sixth-round afterthought left as the franchise's all-time rushing leader — the player who accumulated more rushing yards in a Philadelphia Eagles uniform than any player in the franchise's history at the time of his departure.

The 1982 Topps set is a crisp, clean design that collectors have appreciated for decades, and Wilbert Montgomery's #452 card captures the Eagles' running back during the chapter of his career that followed the franchise's Super Bowl XV run.

The Eagles and the Cowboys for the NFC Championship, and on the very first series of the game, Wilbert Montgomery took a handoff from Ron Jaworski, found a crease in the Dallas defense, and ran 42 yards untouched into the end zone.

He made the Pro Bowl twice and was selected to the 1980 All-Pro team in the best season of his career – the season that ended with that run.
