It's becoming a Mile High Card Company tradition that a PSA 10 GEM MINT Joe Montana rookie card fetches a new record price. That's because we have the most knowledgeable clients in the industry that realize what a truly difficult specimen the Montana RC card is to acquire. Arguably the greatest quarterback in NFL history, his playoff run in the 1989 Super Bowl Championship season alone is enough to lift him to legendary status, winning all three games with a combined 78.3% completion percentage and 11 touchdown passes without an interception. The debut appearance of "Joe Cool" on a Topps card already makes it highly desirable, but a look at the PSA pop report really brings its scarcity to light. Only 76 out of almost 11,000 total Montana RC submissions (0.7%) have earned the grade of PSA 10 compared to 16.4% for the aggregate of ever other card in the set. The featured pasteboard has certainly earned the seldom seen grade due to its near perfect centering, outstanding image quality and virtually unadulterated corners and edges. If a GEM MINT Montana rookie card is on your want list, you better make an aggressive run at this beauty because at this rate, the price will be out of reach for even advanced collectors before long.
