A Super Bowl MVP and the first Canadian-born NFL starting QB, Mark Rypien passed for over 15,000 career yards and 100 TDs while earning a reputation for excelling in the clutch. His 11 game-winning drives and eight fourth-quarter comebacks both rank in the Washington Redskins all-time Top 5. Yet Rypien will always be best remembered for his 292-yard, two touchdown performance in Super Bowl XXVI as the Redskins beat the Buffalo Bills 37-24.
Offered is a full-sized replica of the Vince Lombardi Trophy modeled after the one presented to the Washington Redskins for their victory in Super Bowl XXVI. The trophy, with its 2 ¼ inch black triangle base, measures 17 inches tall. The front panel reads “VINCE LOMBARDI TROPHY” above the NFL shield and “SUPER BOWL XXVI AFC vs NFC Metrodome, Minneapolis, Minnesota JANUARY 26, 1992 WASHINGTON REDSKINS 37 BUFFALO BILLS 24”. Rypien signed the black panel made for the basein silver marker and inscribed “11” and “SB XXVI MVP”. The trophy is in excellent condition and comes with a COA from PSA/DNA (5A15263).
