Wondering if it is worth anything, Griffin and his friend take the baseball card to a collector named S. Wendell Palomino, or Swindle as they soon come to name him.

That card is worth a fortune. Now they have to come up with a way to get it back. There way involves burglary, angry guard dogs, and very high tech security. Can they pull it off without getting caught? Read Swindle by Gordon Korman to find out.
