Lot # 1315: 1957 F162 Swift Meats Complete Set (18) Plus Original Mailing Envelope and Game Board

Complete set of all 18 cards issued in 1957 by Swift Meats in overall Nr/Mt-Mt condition. Available directly from Swift Meats only by mail, the set is presented in three uncut perforated sheets of six cards each, as originally issued. Cards from this unique and very colorful set were meant to be punched out and assembled to create 3-D figures of the players. Not all perforations between cards are intact, with one sheet on the verge of becoming two three-card panels. Keys: Hank Aaron, Nellie Fox, Frank Robinson, Richie Ashburn, and Rocky Colavito. Also included is the paper game board that was produced to accompany the set and which allows for a game to be played with the figures. The board is in outstanding condition, technically downgraded to Vg-Ex due to a few light creases near the fold lines. Also accompanying the set is the original Swift Meats envelope in which the set was originally packaged. The envelope has advertising for "Swift Major League Baseball Game." The envelope is in Very Good condition, with a few small stains and a rubber-stamped "VOID" over the postage box. The cards are bright and crisp. This is a virtually flawless complete set of this unique 1950s regional issue in its original and ideal form. Extremely attractive and colorful. Total: 18 cards on three panels, game board, and envelope.
