The Retirados may be unrelated in terms of licensed/unlicensed where the Topps cards could have been and the VWL cards were fair game. For all we know, Topps was onboard with the idea of co-mingling all three as a test to see if it stimulated sales. Or not. It's a great set (all three subsets I mean) either way, certainly the most interesting one out of Venezuela in my book.
