Apparently these have gotten very popular (and pricey)! According to one source, these are found one in every three cases (not sure if this means retail, hobby or jumbo cases).

Does anyone know what that Hint above means? I love looking for variations in the base Topps sets, but I can't figure out what that hint could mean. I've looked at every Washington Nationals card, thinking that is what was meant.

How do we know Abe is a Cardinal fan, he was dead long before the Cardinals existed.
