Just found out about it, called "swindle" on the Nickelodeon stations.


Swindle is a children's film that premiered on August 24, 2013, on Nickelodeon, starring Noah Crawford, Chris O'Neal, Jennette McCurdy, Noah Munck, Ariana Grande, and Ciara Bravo.

The movie is about a boy named Griffin (Noah Crawford) whose friend, Ben (Chris O'Neal), finds a rare baseball card worth a fortune. Griffin offers to sell the card to a local collectible dealer without being aware of its value.

The dealer scams the boys, driving Griffin to enlist several fellow students to help them retrieve the baseball card.[2][3] [4] A sneak peek premiered on Nickelodeon during three Sam & Cat episodes.

The August 24 premiere was watched by 4.2 million viewers.[5]

Swindle is loosely based on the book of the same name by Gordon Korman.

There is a book I read as a kid called Honus and Me. Its one of the reasons I took up collecting back then. I'm glad to see similar stories being made available to kids. Hopefully it will get them interested in collecting.

Awesome book...I still got my copy. Awesome book Dan Gutman, who also wrote Babe and Me, and Jackie and Me (I think)

You're right. From what I remember, Babe and Me and Jackie and Me were sequels to the Honus Wagner story. Definitely a good gift idea for kids

Hopefully Ariana Grande's appearance will spark interest in collecting. I know she sparked "something" in me...
