The jersey worn by Joe Montana in Notre Dame’s Cotton Bowl win over Texas cementing the Irish as 1977 national champions sold for $122,388 late Wednesday night at Goldin Auctions in the second part of an auction of hundreds of items from the Hall of Famer’s personal collection.
Montana had been third on the Irish depth chart at the start of the year, but led Notre Dame to nine straight wins, culminated by the 38-10 win over previously unbeaten Texas in the Jan. 2, 1978 game. The white mesh jersey made by Champion drew 44 bids.
A jersey Montana wore during the final 49ers victory of his career on Jan. 9, 1993, sold for $43,200. Montana watched from the sidelines that day as Steve Young led the Niners to a 20-13 win over Washington at Candlestick Park. Another, undated jersey from Montana’s 49ers career, a lot that included a pair of his socks, went for $47,406. A 1980s helmet netted $36,000.
Two of his Super Bowl MVP awards–one from XVI and the other from XIX, sold for $16,800 and $21,600 combined.
