Thanks. These are hard to find with no damage on the back, so I was thrilled to pick it up in Strongsville last month.

Wow, these are great looking cards! The whole issue covers 3 distinct subsets.

This thread goes back a few years, but there is/was a net54 member, "Josh", who would seem to be an expert on all the Venezuelan Topps issues. The 1967 issue is really quite interesting to me.

There were some 1967 Venezuelan cards at a regional show today, first time I’ve seen any in person. They were priced really high and when parties asked, the dealer said it was because of their scarcity.

I’m not interested in foreign language cards, but they are interesting.

I've always been intrigued by the Venezuelan cards. That old thread has some great info in it.
