1980 Topps Walter Payton #160

Payton from his 1979 season — another 1,600+ yard performance in a Bears offense that wouldn't truly break through until 1985. 1980 Topps features a simple horizontal-banner design with team color blocks, and Payton's card shows him in the vintage Bears orange-and-navy. A middle-era Payton at a budget-collector price point.
