"Limited Edition" refers to the fact that there is only a certain amount, or "limited" number of serigraphs printed of a specific piece of artwork. After the edition is printed, all of the original artwork and screens used to make the print are destroyed or effaced. This ensures that no additional prints of this image will be made in the future. This is the opposite of an "Open Edition," where public demand determines the number of pieces included in an edition.

The limited life of the stencil prevents unlimited editions. Additionally, variables in the process of hand-pulling serigraphs mean that each individual serigraph is slightly different from each other serigraph in the edition. Minor deviations in color registration, paint distribution, and variations yield individual pieces that are truly "one-of-a-kind" or "original."

“National Champion North Carolina” depicts the last game of the Final Four for the Division I College National Championship for 1982. This Serigraph has James Worthy (52), Sam Perkins (41), Brad Dogherty (44), and “Sleepy” Floyd (21) pictured in action under the goal. The game was between the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Georgetown Hoyas staged in the New Orleans Super Dome with North Carolina coming out on top.

In the Background is Coach Dean Smith along with Jimmy Black (21) and freshman Michael Jordan (23). In this game Michael Jordan, who is now a superstar in the NBA, made the winning shot as a freshman which Jordan said, “ That shot put me on the map in the basketball world”.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar purchased one of the prints while playing the Hawks in Atlanta, Georgia.
