This Jerry Rice action figure from the Danbury Mint is a must-have for any San Francisco 49ers fan.
Rice was
a wide receiver for
20 seasons in the NFL. He won three Super Bowl titles with the San Francisco
49ers before two shorter stints at the end of his career with
the Oakland Raiders and Seattle Seahawks. Rice is widely regarded
as the greatest wide receiver of all time and one of the greatest players in
NFL history, period. The Sporting
News listed Rice second behind Jim Brown on its list of
"Football's 100 Greatest Players". Rice
played college
football for four seasons at Mississippi
Valley State, setting several NCAA
records, including becoming the all-time leader in NCAA receiving touchdowns.
He joined the 49ers in 1985 after being drafted with the 16th overall pick.
After a modest rookie season, Rice emerged the following season as one of
the best receivers in the league, leading the NFL in receiving yards and
touchdowns, a feat he subsequently achieved four times. In 1987, Rice set the
record for most receiving touchdowns in a season, with 22, in a twelve-game
strike-shortened season. He won back-to-back Super Bowls in 1988 and 1989, and was MVP in the 1989 one. Rice developed connections with quarterbacks Joe Montana and Steve Young that are viewed as among
the best in NFL history, helping him lead the league in both receiving yards
and touchdowns six times, and in receptions twice. Going into
the 1990s, Rice won a third Super Bowl in 1994,
and a second Offensive Player of the Year Award. After recovering from several
knee injuries his play slowly regressed, and San Francisco released him in June 2001. He
signed with the Raiders on a four-year deal where he had three very good
seasons. Midway through 2004, the Raiders traded him to the Seahawks, for his final season. He briefly signed with the Broncos, but retired
shortly before the start of the 2005 season. This statue is listed as "Used", but is in beautiful condition, with no cracks, scratches or repairs. It is, however, missing the small football he is getting ready to catch, not uncommon for this particular figurine. If you didn't know there originally was a separate little ball included, you would see nothing wrong with the figurine. It looks really nice just the way it is. The List price is lowered accordingly. Please closely examine the photos to see exactly what you are looking to purchase. The photos are a critical part of the Condition Description. It has its COO but not the original box. So, the figure will be packed very carefully, covered by multiple layers of bubble wrap, and enclosed in a new heavy duty cardboard box. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this rare and unique piece of history.
The officially licensed 9" figure captures the Hall of Fame wide receiver in his iconic red and gold uniform. While the figure is missing its football, it is in great condition and perfect for display.
This collectible item is a great addition to any football fan's collection and shows off your love for the sport and the 49ers.
