Default Educate me

Mac,
Congrats. Couldn't have happened to nicer guy. But please educate me and others on what makes this m116 so special. I am ignorant when it comes to certain issues, but always willing and anxious to learn something new.
Best wishes,
Tim Kindler

I'm fairly new to the set myself...so I rely on the great info by Tim N and info from Andy C. as well. Basically an extraordinarily rare late series team name variation. This particular variation was discovered about 10 years ago...and not sure if any have been discovered since then.

Wow! Then this is a super rare find. Thanks for sharing the pic and educating us with the information. I'll have to look into this and other late team variations in the set.
Best wishes,

Amazing find.

I have to ask, did the dealer know what he had or was this a case of educated buyer finding an treasure?

Is this the classic 100 dollar card in the dollar box story multiplied by a 1000?

I'm curious as well - did he know?

This is definitely the find of the show.
