Any Information on T210 Series 8 Swacina

[DixieBaseball]

OldBugman :

Swacina played for Mobile, Al. when the T210 card came out, but was a fixture in the Minor Leagues on and off for 2 decades. He played in the Southern Association for Memphis in 1901-02, New Orleans, Nashville, and 2 different stints with Mobile. He also played in Charleston, Louisville, Augusta, among a handful of other cities including some more Northern locations. He also played 4 season in the Big's with Pitts and Baltimore Federal League. (He batted 280, 90 rbi's, 173 hits in 1914 with Baltimore)

- Re: Value -- Ralph is on the money... $150-$225 in Poor to Good condition. Maybe a touch higher if an example surfaces in Vg condition or more...

- It is well documented from many T210 collectors that Series 8 is most likely the toughest series to collect, and I would put this particular player in even a tougher level within the series to find. This series is strange in that there is almost a few different levels of scarcity within the series. Some Series 8 cards are scarce, some really scarce, and others ultra scarce to rare in my humble opinion. I would put Swacina in that really scarce to ultra scare category as I have only seen 1 come around in the last several years for sale. With that being said, there may have been a few of his cards in large lots that have sold, so some of the other folks who track this stuff may have a varying opinion.

- Hope this info helps...
