Venezuelan Pirates
I have long collected Pittsburgh Pirates 1960's issues, and more recently the Topps Venezuelans. In going back thru my "archives", I came up with two 1966 Jim Pagliaroni #33 cards that appear to have the typical Venezuelan backs, i.e. bright orange as opposed to the more toned down USA version. However these cards appear to be in strong NrMT condition, which I guess would be unusual for the Venezuelan issue. I have no idea where I got these cards, as they have been my collection for many years. Question: Are there any other Topps variations that might account for the different color back, or can I safely assume that these are really NrMT Venezuelan cards? I have checked the PSA Population Report, and would consider submitting these cards for grading if I was sure of their origin.
