🏈 Wilbert Montgomery 1982 Topps #452 Football Card PSA 8 NEAR MINT — Philadelphia Eagles — Greenville, Mississippi — Abilene Christian University — 1980 NFC Championship Game Hero — Super Bowl XV Eagles — PSA 8 NEAR MINT Certified

🏈 A PSA 8 NEAR MINT certified Wilbert Montgomery 1982 Topps #452 football card — from the 1982 Topps football set, the flagship Topps football card issue from the period when Montgomery was one of the most feared running backs in the National Football League. 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.

🌟 Greenville, Mississippi — Abilene Christian — The Path to Philadelphia

Wilbert Dale Montgomery was born September 16, 1954, in Greenville, Mississippi — the Mississippi Delta city that sits on the banks of Lake Ferguson, an oxbow lake formed by the Mississippi River's prehistoric bends. 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. Condition: NOS.

Philadelphia Eagles — The 1980 NFC Championship — The 42-Yard Run — The Legend

Wilbert Montgomery's defining moment came on January 11, 1981, when the Philadelphia Eagles hosted the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Championship Game at Veterans Stadium. 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. Condition: NOS.
