Topps Venezuelans

Those are some Beauties Nicolo!!

Congrats Rick - One heck of an accomplishment!


I finished up my Pirates team set run from 1959-1968 - 1967 Maury Wills was the last one and a BEAST of a card to find!! Paid stupid $$ just to get it to wrap up that project.

In addition to the Pirates team sets, I have a Venezuelan "superstar and rookie" collection - realized this year I am missing a 1967 Aaron I upgraded my 59 Mantle from a PSA 2 (which is now available if anyone is looking) to an SGC 3.5. Also picked up and have available a PSA 1.5 1972 Ryan stamp that will leave you shaking your head at the grade when you see it.

Nicolo:
Those are blazers, great looking cards.

Howard:
Congrats on the Pirates run, that's awesome. I had no idea the Maury Wills 67 so was tough, I just added that my want list
I landed a 67 Aaron last year, I way overpaid for an SGC A. I'm still patiently waiting to add a 67 Bob Gibson.

Here's my 67 Aaron:

Not nearly as impressive as any of your accomplishments, but I did finish my 1968 World Series run! Always looking for upgrades, but happy to have it, especially that Yaz!

Have a bunch of extra high grade HOF and Retirado if anyone is hunting.

I have the Aaron all star from 68, but not the base.

I think I have a Banks dupe but if I remember right it has a lot of back damage.

So funny that this thread would have just been picked up again - I stumbled on the original 2015 thread a few months ago having known very little about Venz. I'm nearly complete with the full Senators Bowman / Topps / Fleer runs from '48 to '74, so to have found these issuances has been a really fun project.

Ended up down a rabbit hole and connected with a Net54 member who got me off to a great start, and picked up some from eBay. Figured I'd grab a few dupes where they were easy as trade opportunities. Here's where I'm at by set, if anyone has anything they are willing to trade or sell, please let me know! Thanks for bringing this back to life!

VZ Senators Run - 38 of 91
'59 Topps VZ: 6/12 (need: 4, 33, 74, 78, 93, 116)
'60 Topps VZ: 1/12 (need: 9, 43, 56, 76, 87, 99, 114, 123, 136, 175, 193)
'62 Topps VZ: 1/7 (need: 42, 51, 79, 90, 125, 152)
'64 Topps VZ: 12/17 (need: 46, 52, 134, 167, 343)
'66 Topps VZ: 6/18 (need: 46, 77, 95, 149, 165, 194, 211, 251, 274, 294, 351, 369)
'67 Topps VZ: 2/8 (need: 139, 176, 188, 201, 243, 289)
'68 Topps VZ: 10/17 (need: 6, 31, 49, 66, 131, 231, 268)
