This is the folder that came with each plate purchased at the auction. The sticker on the rear of the folder shows that this was for lot 124, which was plate Q82.
And here is the inside of the folder, showing that winning bidders actually received three plates. This photo also shows the inside of the auction booklet, along with some prices from the auction.
