Funko Pop! Sports Illustrated Joe Montana (Cover #03) with Signature

This item is a Funko Pop! Sports Illustrated series vinyl figure, designated as number 03 in the collection, featuring NFL legend Joe Montana. The multi-media piece consists of a small vinyl figure of Montana in the foreground, set against a background that replicates his classic Sports Illustrated magazine cover image from the April 26, 1993 issue. The physical construction includes a molded plastic figure with blonde hair and typical Funko black round eyes, housed within a cardboard and clear plastic display box approximately 11 inches tall. A notable and highly significant feature is a large red ink signature, likely by Joe Montana, scrawled across the clear front window of the packaging. The item is currently secured in a protective plastic wrap, though some condition issues are visible: a generic white price or inventory sticker obscures the top of the magazine background, and small red circular 'B 11' and 'X2' stickers are adhered to the plastic wrap or box surface. The box appears to be in good structural condition, with sharp corners and vibrant printing, typical of modern collectibles from the 2020s. As a piece of sports memorabilia, the quality and value are driven by the combination of the popular Funko Pop! brand and the potential authenticity of the athlete's signature on a historically relevant magazine cover reprint.
