T<\/span>he jersey worn by the legendary Joe Montana <\/strong>with the San Francisco 49ers <\/strong>to win Super Bowl XIX and XXIII sold for a record 1.2 million dollars to break the previous record of 480,000 dollars for a Tom Brady jersey worn by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers <\/strong>to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl LV.<\/p>\n The two record transactions were made by the Goldin house, which is known for its leadership in the buying and selling of sports memorabilia, as well as pop culture.<\/p>\n Montana <\/strong>first wore the jersey when the 49ers <\/strong>beat the Miami Dolphins <\/strong>38-16 in Super Bowl XIX. But four years later he wore it again, in Super Bowl XXIII, in San Francisco<\/strong>‘s 20-16 win over the Cincinnati Bengals<\/strong>, an unforgettable game that featured the epic winning series known as ‘The Drive’, in which Montana <\/strong>drove 92 yards to win the title.<\/p>\n Montana <\/strong>was able to wear the same jersey four years later thanks to his wife Jennifer<\/strong>, who on the morning of the Super Bowl put the jersey in a bag with a note.<\/p>\n “You might want to wear it again,” the note read.<\/p>\n Also on Thursday, the same auction house sold Montana<\/strong>‘s jersey with which he won Super Bowl XXIV, and that transaction broke Tom Brady<\/strong>‘s record, selling for 720,000 dollars.<\/p>\n “It’s only fitting that the two greatest quarterbacks of all time continue to trade records, even in retirement,” said Ken Goldin<\/strong>, founder of the Goldin house.<\/p>\n Montana <\/strong>is an NFL legend, with four Super Bowl rings with the 49ers<\/strong>, three times named Most Valuable Player and thanks to his talent as a quarterback he is recognized as one of the greatest players in league history. In titles he is second only to Brady<\/strong>‘s seven.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nMontana breaks same-day auction record<\/h2>\n
