The Runner in the 1980s Sporting Series
During the 1980s, Robertson’s expanded their enamel badge themes to include a wide range of sporting characters, reflecting the decade’s enthusiasm for athletics and youth collecting culture. The Runner design captured the era’s interest in track‑and‑field sports and became a recognisable part of the sporting subset.
Although not the rarest of the series, clean examples are increasingly sought after by collectors aiming to complete the full 1980s athletics‑themed run.
