As a game used collector and an old time Met and Swoboda fan I knew there was little chance that I could ever obtain his '69 jersey. Even if it did materialize it would be financially beyond my means. But being a member of this Forum has its benefits. And that is getting an email from the biggest and most important Met collector out there,Andy Fogel asking if I would be interested in a Swoboda '99 30th Anniversary old timers game used jersey. Well you know the answer and below is what Brandon Steiner would describe as,"An unbelievable piece".

In that May 2,1999 Old Timers game Swoboda hit two triples wearing what is the last jersey worn by him in a game at Shea Stadium. A photo from that day of the introductions:

Andy I believe still has many game used Met items for sale from his personal collection.
