Item Received: 1976 Topps, 1977 Topps, 2005 Topps All-Time Fan Favorites.  All signed in blue Sharpie.

Notes:
The Buffalo Bills acquired Montler from the Patriots in 1973 and installed him as their center.  That season, O.J. Simpson became the first running back in league history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season.  Obviously his stellar line needed a nickname, thus "The Electric Company" was born.  Montler centered the group for three more seasons before moving on to Denver.
