1959 Venezuelan Mantle
1960 Venezuelan Yaz rookie
1964 Venezuelan Rose
1964 Venezuelan Mantle
1967 Venezuelan Clemente
1968 Venezuelan Ryan rookie
Good luck finding most of them

I disagree. The Venezuelans are going to start tanking soon. I would avoid them at all costs, particularly the 59 Mantle.
And, if you already have one with a cream back, I'd be willing to help you recoup some of your costs on it.
In all seriousness, as much I hate any additional competition, I think cards like the 68 Venezuelan Ryan Rookie, and others, are very undervalued right now given what they are and the significance to the hobby.
