Smooth, quick and deceptive in eluding defenders throughout his Hall of Fame career, Soldier Field legend Walter Payton was also quite punishing to would-be tacklers brave enough to get in his path. Never one to run out of bounds or slide to avoid contact, Payton (d.1999) went “full contact” with this bold autograph, as well! Executed in silver marker on a “Wilson” Official NFL Pete Rozelle signature model football, Payton’s scriptings projects (“9-10”) potency and is accompanied by his inscription of “34.” Full photo LOA from JSA.

Note: this pigskin presents beautifully and inflates completely.
