Topps Venezuelans

[Rrrlyons]

I received some 68’s today and one of them has a really orange back compared to the normal brown/orange back. It’s also very glossy on the back but the front looks normal. Anyone else seen these none of the other cards in my set have this back.

For some reason it’s not letting me add picture just says error sorry

New pick ups. Photo worked?

I was collecting the 67 VWL subset for a while but ultimately gave up. I love the backgrounds on them, which are very unusual in many cases.

Hi Rick, I had the same experience with my Tony Conigliaro. Much lighter orange back than everything else in my set, but it does have the Venezuelan copyright. Sorry, I can’t post a pic either.

A few recent pick ups. All have clean backs!

I don't know about Rusty Staub, Twins Rookies, and Sandy Valdespino, but I found it interesting that the original owner of this 1968 Topps Venezuelan checklist needed Byron Browne and Curt Blefary, two of the notorious short prints from the set.

Those are some great cards! I recently had my Venz 64 Rose graded by PSA as well. Mine maybe presents a little nicer than yours on front, but the back of mine is shredded. Mine got a PSA 1.

It’s been a long time since I contributed scans to this thread and I’ve picked up a lot of Venz in that time. I should probably pick out some of the best and post them here.

Giving it a shot. These are some of the better 64's I've picked up in the last 9 months.

Yeah it's hard to see in the pic, but the Rose has 2 surface wrinkles (on top of the beat up corners).

Those 64's look great! Love the Alou rookie.

Thanks! Here are a few 1968 PSA 5's and a HOFer for that set.

The PSA 5 has already been traded in a 2 for 4 that really helps my set.
THE PSA 1 BILL WHITE IS FOR SALE, IF ANYBODY IS INTERESTED.
