Latest pickups, vintage style! 1962 Venezuelans
 

My most recent venezuelan pick ups. I really had no intention of going after these but they were just soooooooooooooooooooo cheap that I couldnt let them pass. They are not in the best conditions but they are good enough for me. Enjoy

any venni is a good venni! especially ones of ruth, mantle and mays!!!

Awesome cards! The Mantle/Mays is awesome

1962
 

Those are cards that have encountered a lot of adversity and accordingly have developed great character :)

Have you tried soaking the Managers dream card to get the paper off that's stuck to it?

Nice find
 

The Mantle/Mays card is a tough one to find in any shape and Mantle is becoming extremely desirable of late.

I don't know how much success you might have with the Mantle if you soaked it, but I surely would give it a shot if it were my card. At the very least, you have a chance to be able to get some of that paper off and just have a glue stain over a legible back. I don't think you could reduce the condition any further. Just make sure you give it ample time to dry after soaking or it will warp. If you are not familiar with soaking, it can be a pain to get the card dried properly, but you can't ruin it even if it warps, as it can always be re-soaked.
