It is my understanding that all of the Venezuelan sets from 1959 to 1968, with the exception of the Retirado and VWL cards in 1967, used images supplied and licensed by Topps. Not sure about the 1972 and 1977 releases. Topps had a long relationship with some Venezuelan firms and people, going back to at least 1952, where the US high numbers were released down there and which continued for several seasons afterward. The relationships were likely formed earlier than that in terms of confections, as Topps was working on international trade even before World War 2.
