Looking for Harry Swacina T206
 
Swacina is also featured T210 Red Sun card 67, T210-8 Southern Association and the 1914 Baltimore News set. Any info on Swacina is appreciated.

There is no Harry Swacina in the t206 set.

Here are the 7 card issues for Swacina. No T206 issue. The 1908 Vignette is a postcard and likely a tough find. He was also included in 2 of the Colgan's Chips sets.

He is depicted as a Baltimore player (from the Eastern League, a minor league team), not the Pittsburgh Pirates. This is because the T206 set included both major and minor league players.

The card is labeled "Swacina, Baltimore" and features him in a portrait-style image.

To my knowledge, no such T206 card exists. Even the Olbermann proofs do not include a Swacina.

From where did you hear about the existence of such a card?

I am obviously wrong
 
Harry Swacina was my Grandfather's uncle. I was told that Harry played 1st base for the Pirates in 1907 and 1908. I was told that he played with Honus Wagner during that time
I was also told that he was in the T206 series as well. I got bad intel.....

The T206 folks made a lot of mistakes, including using Harry Hinchman's image for Bud Sharpe's T206 card on the Newark team. I noticed Swacina also played with Newark. If only Harry Swacina's image was used instead of Harry Hinchman....
