A WALTER PAYTON from the 1977 TOPPS set, card #3.
Graded by Mint Condition: 5
The grade is heavily restricted by the vertical centering on the back of the card, which shows a heavy top-heavy shift. The corners, edges, and surfaces are otherwise in outstanding near-mint condition for a 1970s issue.

Corners: 4 / 10

Edges: 8 / 10
Front: All four edges are exceptionally clean and crisp, showing virtually no factory chipping. Back: The edges are clean with only minor factory rough cuts visible on the right border.
Surface: 9 / 10
Front: The front surface is bright and clean with excellent color registration and no noticeable scratches. Back: The reverse surface is highly clean with uniform stock tone and no print snow or wax staining.
