Acquisition: Rare Stromile Swift Cards


From the same seller off of whom I purchased the previous lot, this assortment of Stro Show cardboard arrived in the mail yesterday. 

Noteworthy about this lot is that it contains the first and only 1/1 in my Swift collection.  The 1/1 is the metallic-y looking one, a printing plate used in the production of Stro's '04/05 Bazooka card.  I prefer regular, serial numbered 1/1 cards to printing plates, but to finally knock a 1/1 off the checklist is exciting.  Plus, I suppose, printing plates are actually one-of-a-kind, whereas 1/1 cards are just an alternate version of a base card with a serial number on it.

Additionally, this lot contains a card numbered /5 (silver autograph), one numbered /15 (exquisite jersey/auto), and another numbered /35 ("significant numbers").  This particular exquisite card has always been a favorite design of mine, and I believe /15 is the rarest and the prettiest version.
