Eli Manning will go down in history as the quarterback who rose to the occasion when it counted the most. After a glorious 2007 season, Eli won his 2nd Super Bowl with the new York Giants--both over the New England Patriots--and can hold that over the head of his older brother who is stuck at one. Time is running out for Peyton. Featured here is a replica Vince Lombardi Trophy, named after the legendary Green Bay Packers head coach. It stands 17” tall, weighs 11 pounds and pays tribute to a Super Bowl victory that ripped the hearts out of the Patriot faithful and their supposed perfect season of destiny. Eli was named Most Valuable Player after he led his team on a game-winning drive in the closing minutes, capped by a 13-yard TD pass to Plaxico Burress with 35 seconds left--this coming just after Eli's miraculous 32-yard completion to David Tyree to convert on 4th and long. The silver neck of the trophy, upon which rests a silver football, reads: “VINCE LOMBARDI TROPHY SUPER BOWL XLII AFC vs NFC.” It goes on to spell out the location – "Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, Arizona FEBRUARY 3, 2008” – and also reflects the final score of the game: “NEW YORK GIANTS 17 - NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 14.” Both the football and the neck sections are made of stainless steel. The black marble base sports a special black plaque that boasts Manning's authentic signature in shiny silver marker. It is super rare in the hobby to find Eli's autograph on a piece of this caliber.
Includes PSA COA (6A58244) plus two photos of Eli signing the trophy.
