A master of late-game comebacks, Joe Montana directed his teams to 31 fourth quarter come-from-behind wins during his illustrious career with the 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. His uncanny ability to bring a team back from apparent defeat was so common that it simply became referred to as "Montana Magic," a magic he performed for 15 remarkable seasons, hence the title of this painting.

Acclaimed artist Carlo Beninati donated this original oil painting of the legendary Joe Montana to benefit the Sports Collectibles Industry Fund Sponsored by SportsFest. Joe Montana personally signed the painting at the SportsFest show.

Also at this event was the unveiling of the new, exclusive "Tiger Roars" limited edition fine art mixed-media serigraphs.

The limited edition, "Thanks For The Memories" series was also unveiled as a tribute to the incredible career of basketball legend, Michael Jordan.

The photos on this page document the excitement of this spectacular event in sports art history.
