1981 Extremely early photograph of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana as he dropped back into the pocket from early in his career. Stamped on the back by photographer Malcolm Emmons, this is his among his greatest images we have ever handled and it dates to the year his rookie card was released! The photo has minimal handling wear at the corners, otherwise it presents beautifully! One of his greatest images we have ever handled and it is being offered here for the first time ever from the archives of the Sporting News.
