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

Priced as a regular beat-up m116.

Default M116 variations
Congrats Mac...the M116 set seems to be an especially good one to make these type of finds, as they are not too heavily collected. It also helps that there are variations that are not widely known and are extremely rare. A couple of years ago I came across one completely by accident, not at a show, but on ebay. No one noticed the previously undiscovered team variation on the Smith card...not even me until later.

Sounds like you were on top of this one though...congrats again.

Brian

"Hey Bert - what's that sound?"

"Ernie, my friend, that's the sound of 320 people simultaneously setting an alert for 'Bates Cincinnati M116' on eBay."

"Oh. Thanks, Bert!"
