Description
1957 Swift Meats Complete Set With Mailer & Playing Board Never before have we seen something like this. The folks at Beckett agree, endowing this set, above all others in history as the "Most Condition Rare Set." After all, how could you possibly resist the temptation to punch out and assemble these things? They're just far too cool to leave them alone. Beckett's contention that "Values for unpunched Swift cards are sort of an exercise in unreality..." is overwhelmingly true, but we'll let the bidders decide the value here. Short of a few microscopic factory print wrinkles, these cards are as Minty as Minty can be, still assembled on their sheets of six with three sheets comprising the set. The original mailing envelope is present and displays an artists rendition of the game with the printed text "Here is your Swift Major League Baseball Game and 18 Major League Players!". Finally, we have the original playing board, which grades a technical VG-EX due to a center fold above and beyond those made for mailing purposes. So very, very rare...Auction Info
