Description
The 1986 NFL MVP wins it all!
1986 Super Bowl XXI Player Format Lombardi Trophy Presented to
New York Giants Linebacker Lawrence Taylor with Taylor Letter.
According to football legend John Madden, Lawrence Taylor had as
big an impact on the sport's trajectory as any player he's ever
seen. "He changed the way defense is played, the way pass-rushing
is played, the way linebackers play and the way offenses block
linebackers," said Madden. Endowed with an athleticism
unprecedented in players of his size, and an unquenchable thirst
for destruction, Taylor was arguably the most essential component
of an era of dominance in the Meadowlands that supplied two Super
Bowl Championships to fans of the Big Apple gridiron in a
five-season span.Here is LT's personal Lombardi Trophy from the first of those two trips to the mountain top, representing the 1986 edition which is widely considered to be the greatest team in Giants franchise history. As the leader of the Big Blue Wrecking Crew, Taylor would earn his only NFL MVP this season and his third and final NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award, so there's no doubt that this is the most desirable vintage for Taylor material.
The iconic award is instantly recognizable, a figural football perched atop a triangular base engraved with text that reads, "Vince Lombardi Trophy, Super Bowl XXI Champions, The New York Football Giants." A raised NFL emblem enhances the display at center of that text. Taylor has autographed the football in black marker, that signature presenting at 9/10 strength. The award exhibits a degree of tarnishing but no other faults of significance. Measures sixteen inches (16") in height.
Ironclad provenance is supplied in the form of a signed letter from Taylor himself, who writes, "This is my original 1990 Super Bowl XXI trophy that was given to me by the New York Giants for being a winning participant in Super Bowl XXI." Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from Beckett Authentication Services.
