Funko Pop Sports Illustrated Joe Montana 03 Appraisal

Funko Pop! Sports Illustrated: Joe Montana #03 (Kansas City Chiefs Edition with Autograph)

This item is a Funko Pop! Sports Illustrated vinyl figure representing Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana, specifically commemorating his tenure with the Kansas City Chiefs as featured on a classic magazine cover. The item is encased in a rigid protective plastic display case, which shows significant signs of secondary handling. The figure itself is a stylized vinyl representation of Montana in a red jersey, positioned in front of a printed 'Sports Illustrated' backdrop from the April 20, 1993, issue titled 'Kansas City, Here I Come'. A prominent autograph in orange ink is visible across the center of the display face; while the user context mentions Roddy White, the visual inventory sticker identifies it as a 'Joe Montana Signed' item. Current condition shows the outer plexiglass or plastic protector is heavily wrapped in clear packing tape, with multiple inventory and price stickers applied directly to the surface, including a barcode label and two circular red dots. There is visible surface scuffing on the plastic. The interior retail packaging appears to be in its original form, labeled with '03' in the upper right. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced Funko vinyl collectibles, featuring a 'Pop!' stylized head and uniform details. The item serves as a piece of sports memorabilia blending modern 'vinyl toy' culture with retro sports history.
