1957 Swift Meats (a little help)

Aaronman

I was just perusing the pop report on Hank Aaron and saw that a 1957 Swift Meats Aaron was just graded a 9. Does anyone know the whereabouts of this card or what a 1957 Swift Meats card looks like? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Doug

They're a very "funky" type of card - they come in an envelope with 18 total players divided into six players on three panels. Each "player" consists of an assortment of pieces that were meant to be punched out of the paper to be made into a small paper doll - obviously, they are mostly collectible unpunched.

Very hard to explain w/o a picture.

Sportscard Plus has this card on its inventory list. Look under 1946-75 Regional Cards.

I think they are one of the coolest regional sets of the 1950s. They are hard to find in top condition -- and when they are found, they are often found in the three panels of six each. (I think only nine of the eighteen are actually named players). Arms and legs all over the place -- they are quite fun. If you are looking to buy a set, I've got one, let me know.

Thanks for all the help.
