Venezuelan League Stickers

[dessertstormveteran]

I just did some research and it looks like the Munson Venezuelan Sticker has quite some interest.....8 watchers currently on eBay and it still has a few days left to bid.

I'm watching it but have no interest in buying it for more than $5
As others said a Munson collector who wants it for his collection is about the
only person who will bid, that being said, I'm sure there are lots of Munson collectors.

If you want it, you better start bidding, this guy might pull the auction, he says he'll end it early for the right price.

I think most people would be willing to put down at least $5 for this beauty.

Lets see how the bidding goes, I sent the seller a message.

Is there a 68 Venezuelan Sticker set out there too? Someone send me a PM that they have Nolan Ryan RC Venezuelan for sale.

The '68's look exactly like the normal 68 Topps except the back is more orange and the copyright line on the bottom is white not black. They are cards not stickers.

backs for comparison

The 1977 Venezuelan Stickers are part of a much larger set, the US look-a-likes comprise only 54 consecutively numbered cards of the set (including the Jackson puzzle, but not the Parker puzzle), and I'm nearly certain they were unlicensed.

The cards themselves are not that tough to find, but they almost universally show evidence of having been glued into the album, more so than any other main-stream Venezuela issue from the 1960's.

Any card from this set graded PSA 3 or better is extremely rare because it implies there is no evidence of glue, assuming PSA didn't screw up. Finding these cards with no glue on the back is bordering on impossible. I've been building the 54 card subset for years, I've got them all, but managed to find only 32 of them with clean backs. There is virtually no chance I'll ever find all of the remaining 22 with clean backs.

That Munson card on eBay in the PSA 1 holder - it's worth about $25. That card is particularly beat up - often times, you can find examples with glue that look between EX - NM from the front without all the creasing. It also shows evidence of glue too, although looks like someone did some work to get the paper off - you can see the whiter splotches along the upper border on the back - that's where the card is typically glued.

A few people sent me a private message on here thanking me for posting the Thurman Munson link because they have been waiting for one to pop up for sale on eBay. Two guys have near complete sets and said the Thurman will bring about $75-$100 a @ auction.....you never see Yankee players up for sale that often.
