It's been 33 years since The Catch -- Dwight Clark's fingertip touchdown grab over Everson Walls in the NFC Championship Game -- and it remains one of the greatest plays in NFL postseason history.
(In related news: As legend has it, a 4-year-old Tom Brady was at Candlestick Park that day.)
Clark would play five more seasons and retire with 506 career receptions and 48 touchdowns, but none was more memorable than The Catch. And if you're lucky enough to get Clark's autograph these days, it apparently comes with a schematic of the play that changed the fortunes of the 49ers, who would win their first of five Super Bowls two weeks after Clark's end-zone grab.
According to Reddit user JoeB_302, Clark signed the football you see above during a small event at a car dealership. He even brought his championship rings with him.
