Offered is a stock certificate showing the named holder of record's one share of stock in the Green Bay Packers, Inc. The Green Bay Packers became a nonprofit corporation in 1923. Although shares in the team are termed "common stock," a shareholder does not have the rights normally associated with common stock in the strictest sense of the term: Green Bay Packers stockholders have no equity interest in the corporation and receive no dividends. The stock certificate measures 8x12". It reads, in part, "Green Bay Packers, Inc./Number 009711/Shares 1/DECEMBER 9, 2011/Mark Murphy (facsimile signature) President and Chief Executive Officer." The Green Bay franchise was first established in 1919 as an independent team. The franchise joined the NFL in 1921. The franchise, under various names before becoming the Packers, has won 11 NFL Championships (pre-merger with the AFL) and four Super Bowl Championships after the merger. There are over a half million Green Bay Packers stockholders, and the money raised by the sale of stock has enabled the Packers to continue to play in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the smallest city in North America to hold a franchise in a major sport. The stock certificate is in EXCELLENT condition.
