Finally finished it! Only one with glue residue. Anyone have any 1967 Topps Venezuelan Orioles or other Brooks Robinsons for me?

Well that's very cool. Congratulations!

Now how about some details...how long did it take? And while I don't know *a lot* about the Venezuelan issues, I've always had it in my mind that they are tough to find in great condition. Did you do a lot of upgrading along the way?


Again, congratulations.

Richard.

Congrats...that is quite an accomplishment in that condition. Good luck with the '67s...those are my favorite.

I like the 64's with the black backs.

Congrats.

Thanks! No upgrading, just was patient. Got them through ebay and the National. The last one was McNally (the one with the glue residue)....I just never was able to find one without back damage so I went for the first one I found. Took on and off looking of over a year and a half.

Nice collection. The 1964's are very difficult with no back damage, plus, they were printed on really flimsy stock that gets dirty and damaged easily.
