Default Complete set of 1972 Venezuelan stamps/stickers

Anyone familiar with the 1972 Venezuelan stamps/stickers? Found an entire album full of them in my father's collection today. Only missing two of 242 to complete the set. Last two Nolan Ryan PSA 1's sold for $810 and, incredibly $3,224 respectively. Other than that I can't find much info or a record of a complete set selling anywhere.

Here are a few pages including the Ryan stamp/sticker at the bottom:

Several of these 1972 Venezuelan cards, including commons, have been counterfeited in the last few years and sold either unwittingly or unscrupulously on eBay by a seller in Venezuela. As far as I can tell all of yours are the real deal, though. Amazing.

Hi Cliff, thanks for the info. These were sent to my father in 1978 by another collector. I found the album in an envelope with a letter the other collector wrote regarding a trade they were making, presumably for TCMA items and publications.

The album that these are glued onto was obviously made for this set with the blank spot for #87 Jose Cardenal. Is there a cover or a front page for the album?

Would you mind posting or sending me a scan of the Garvey close up? As close as you can get it w/o affecting the quality of the image? thanks.

Default Nice find

The album itself looks legit, but the cards look like the counterfeits. The bright white borders look too bright white, and the pictures are too blurred to see if the font matches the authentic font.

If you look at these under a loupe, if the green backgrounds are all printed in half tone (tiny dots), they are fake. The authentic cards are printed with flat layers of yellow and blue to create the green. The real ones also do not have perfectly square edges to the green background. These appear to be all squared up on the album examples.

Default Josh - is it possible?

There has been some speculation in past discussion about the possibility of 2 different printings vs. counterfeiting. I saw also in the scans 2 distinct printing styles/fonts, etc. All pasted in the original album, including commons? I think at the very least it begs further inspection and question.

There are two different fonts because all of the "En Accion" stickers have the smaller font. Other than that all of the regular player stickers have the standard bold font.

I have heard about the counterfeits but apparently those were done recently, within the past few years. This book has been sitting in filing cabinet with the original letter of provenance, since 1978.

Does anybody know how or why they chose the picture to use?

Some of the stickers have the same photo as the regular 72 Topps cards.

Many however have completely different photos.

I bought a couple of these back in the 1970s along with some Puerto Rican cards from Wirt Gammon. These look exactly like the ones I purchased, very little chance of them being counterfeit.

What is the story on the Cardenal? Scarce or never printed?

That's a good question. I can't seem to find a picture of one online, or the other missing sticker, Gonzalo Marquez.

Also, no one should assume if one of these is in a PSA holder, they're authentic. Most graded by PSA are the fakes. Most available on the market are also fakes.

The key is the printing and the alignment of the green borders. If it's half tone green, they are fakes. There's a post on CU about these and I made a chart showing the real and counterfeit fonts. Search for the thread.

The two different printers story was once somewhat believed but it is extremely likely false.

Not sure if you missed it, but I would love to have a nice larger scan of the garvey from your album if you don't mind. I have one, but it appears to be one of the suspect copies and would like to compare yours to the one I have. thanks. @TCMA

I have no expertise in this area, but if I ever had a question, Josh would be my go to guy. His collection of Venezuelan issues is second to none

Oh yes, our friend Toppsaholic. He got a fantastic deal. He cut up the whole album and soaked the cards and put them on eBay. Quite a few sold but he still has many of them left. I bought every Cub except one and I'm sure that paid for over half of his investment just on those alone, but they are so rare that I didn't really have any choice.

Has anyone noticed the 1972 Venezuelan Nolan Ryan PSA 5 recently listed on eBay? Is this the real one or the other? I’m looking at the lettering and this card looks like the “knock off” Any thoughts?

That PSA 5 1972 Topps Venezuelan Nolan Ryan is counterfeit. There is a PSA 1 Topps Venezuelan Nolan Ryan on eBay that is the real deal. I don’t believe I have ever seen an authentic 1972 Topps Venezuelan that didn’t have evidence of being removed from an album and won’t grade higher than 1-Poor. ETA: of course it is being sold by PWCC.

Holy sh*t!!! ETA: Thinking it over, I’m calling BS on PWCC. I think the consignor was very disappointed in the final price and lost money on his investment and asked PWCC to cancel the sale.

I've got a bunch of these fake 72's all in PSA holders... I was initially duped by the fakes, greedy really- often the case when a man is stolen from with him willingly handing over his own money...

The story began with a Yastrzemski, whose condition seemed exceptional, unlike any other card I had ever seen from that set. I submitted it, it was graded PSA 5. The seller now had more listed, and I honestly believed a find of pack fresh 72 stamps had been discovered, which seemed plausible considering other finds I have made over the years. Thinking I had a nice find on my hands, I proceeded to buy up several more of them from a seller in Venezuela, Gilberto Gil (to this day, I do not know whether he was in on it or just an unwitting shill). PSA graded them all - Ryan 3, Kaline 6, Carew 8, Carew IA 5, B. Robinson 5, F. Robinson 5, Killebrew 3, Marichal 3, Concepcion 1, Concepcion IA 2... that's 11 total.

Some time later, a thread surfaced on CU (I believe) claiming the cards were all fakes. My first reaction, in my youth, was to ignorantly talk out my behind. I initially defended the legitimacy of the cards, honestly believing they were real, PSA had graded them, while also thinking, who in their right mind would counterfeit this set, and where would they even find the originals to copy them from? Respectfully, whoever did it, all considering, did a really impressive job and choosing this particular set was a pretty smart decision (based on their criminal intentions). I'm guessing I was one of the leading suckers who paid them off, as I sent them over $3,000 for the 11 cards mentioned, a monster payday for someone in Venezuela who probably invested 40-100 hours into creating the counterfeits (I believe they may have counterfeited every single card in the set, certainly most of them if not all, a smart move for the added credibility it gave when selling off the stars).

I took the cards with me to a National (I don't recall the year), showed them to PSA along with documented prices I paid and requested they buy them back and compensate me for the grading and shipping fees as well. Instead, the cards were returned to me in the holders, PSA claimed they cannot prove or disprove their authenticity (even though I also gave them a couple exemplars of 72 stamps which were clearly authentic and a complete description of exactly every aspect of the cards which proved they were not from the original 72 issue), and I've been stuck with them ever since, as I would never attempt to sell off cards I know to be counterfeits.

Now, I don't know what to do with them, and I do think PSA should be on the hook, for if they wouldn't have graded that first one, I'd certainly not have purchased any of the others.

The counterfeiter didn’t do the whole set, I’m guessing he did fakes of authentic stickers that he had scans or photos of. I have never seen a counterfeit Tom Seaver and quite a few of the commons. He also messed up on several cards, from memory the fake Santo and Marichal in action have wrong numbers, the fake Alston is missing the team name, there was a common (Sudakis?) that was missing something (number?) on the counterfeit, and the authentic McLain has no team name but the counterfeit McLain has a team name, if I remember correctly. I do have to commend the counterfeiter for taking the time and effort to make fake commons when they wouldn’t be profitable, it would have looked fishy if he only made copies of Rose, Ryan, B. Robinson, Killebrew, Yastrzemski, Kaline, Carlton, Garvey, and Carew.

Thanks for the info. What about the 1972 Puerto Rican League stickers - are you aware of any fakes in circulation?

It would certainly be very profitable to make counterfeits of the 1972 Puero Rican Mike Schmidt but I am not aware of that ever being suspected or discussed.

When you find one make sure it has evidence of being placed in the album and removed, if it has no evidence of being placed in the album it’s almost certainly an early 2000’s counterfeit.

Default Great Information

This entire thread is great information about an obscure set. I have been trying for several years to complete an Astros run from the Venezuelan sets and looking for these stamps has been one of the major challenges - now made harder. Never would have dreamed there would be fakes here. The seller Josh mentioned in his post was someone I have also dealt with on several transactions (none from this set) and he seemed legit - so I do hope he was not directly involved.
