This variety was discovered some years after it was issued, by then practically all the stamp had been sold by the Post Office. A philatelic traveling salesman found two sheets in Acapulco. Also a mescal lover, he placed in his suitcase the two sheets and a bottle of mescal. When arriving in Mexico City he found half the stamps were damaged when the mescal bottle broke during his travels.
