My Swifty. I recall it being very difficult to find this card with even decent centering. And, overall, it seems to be in shorter supply than other cards in the series, though I have never heard of anyone hoarding it nor have I checked to see if population reports bear this out. Just basing it on my personal experience since it was one of the last few cards I needed for my 1-310 run and it was a bugger.

I believe it was someone on here that mentioned someone was hoarding these Swift cards, and, IIRC, it was because of the time when Swift caught/was behind the plate for when Eddie Gaedel came into the game as a pitch hitter? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Gaedel

For me, it was not only a tough card to find centered, it was also a tough card to obtain as I was constantly outbid on numerous copies.
I regret, bigtime, not purchasing a real nice centered graded copied (likely the best I had seen?) from a seller I frequent. I had already purchased my copy shown so it was an unnecessary expense but that still bothers me. I believe the seller had it as a auction/BIN option and it was grabbed up within hours. In hindsight, for a $100 U.S. I believe the buyer got a heck of a deal.

Anyways, here is my Billy Hitchcock for today. Another card that is real tough to find centered, imo.
