In a very limited release, the Topps Lollapalooza trading cards were given out in wax packs at Wrigleyville outside of Wrigley Field during the Cubs' home opening weekend in April, 2013. The set of trading cards was intended to promote the 2013 Lollapalooza festival at Chicago's Grant Park. The promotional set had 29 cards, and an Instant Win “CONGRATULATIONS!” prize card which was good for a pair three-day passes to the festival, and was limited to a scant ten copies. The card featured a 1990 Topps design and an organ grinding monkey, and among aficionados of the set quickly became known as the “Monkey” card. Offered is an incredibly rare example of the “CONGRATULATIONS!” Monkey card, along with an original wrapper slick. The card is in overall NM-MT condition, the wrapper is unfolded and in overall NM-MT condition.
