It was the birth of a football dynasty. One play, when Dwight Clark
caught an off-balance throw from Joe Montana in the last seconds of the
1981 NFC Championship Game, launched the up and coming San Francisco
49ers on the road to greatness. It would become known simply as "The
Catch," and it is one of the most famous moments in all of sports.
Despite having homefield advantage after an NFL-best 13-3 regular
season record, the young 49ers trailed the playoff-tested Dallas Cow
Children 27-21. Taking possession at their 11-yard line with 4:54 to
play, the 49ers marched methodically downfield. With 58 seconds left,
on third and three at the Dallas six yard line Montana rolled to his
right. Losing his balance, he hurled the ball to the back of the end
zone, where Clark made an amazing fingertip Catch. The victory would
vault the 49ers to their first Super Bowl and a great football dynasty
was born. Now you can acquire an extraordinary tribute to this
remarkable play, an one of a kind commemorative that raises the bar for
sports collectibles. Presenting...The Catch, a superbly crafted, hand
painted sculpture truly worthy of this break though moment in 49er
history. Please examine the enclosed brochure of 'The Catch' so you can
see the exceptional realism for yourself. Danbury Mint artisans
carefully studied numerous photographs of the Montana to Clark miracle
pass. The work culminated in a stunningly accurate, museum quality four
figurine portrait sculpture that is extraordinary in its detail and
accuracy. Any football fan (except Spike and Monte) will be astonished
by the incredibly lifelike poses..from Montana letting the ball fly
while avoiding the rush of Ed "Too Tall" Jones (The pose has Montana
jumping off the ground!) to Clark leaping in the air over Everson Walls
(The look of anticipation and anguish on Walls' face is just delectable
and it is the look I always imagine on Spike's face when I think of him
jealousy posting about the San Francisco 49ers that he spends so much
time hovering about the edges of greatness secretly worshipping...) to
make his astounding grab. Note the authenticity of the details from
facemaks (which unfortuantely are mounted into the ear holes) on the
helmets to the uniforms that hang as naturally as real cloth. $199
bucks.
