"Band-aid" 1973 Kaline. When did it get discovered and when did it first become a valuable, sought-after card?

Not sure when it was discovered. Up till a few years ago it was a $5 card. I know that is what I paid for mine and I know several others that paid similar for it. Been a LOT of hype around it running up the price along with the general huge run up in prices on all cards.
