Interesting. I had been under the impression all of them had the "Hecho en Venezuela" line on the back if they were indeed Venezuelan. I once had a Venezuelan '59 Mantle and that's what it had.

How do you tell the difference in a Venezuelan '59 that says "Printed in U.S.A." vs. a regular US one? If it's just the nuance of color, then I'm afraid I don't know. Per your request, here is pic of the back. I will say that in my own opinion, the back of this card is darker / more brownish than it appears in this scan, but who knows. If anyone wants to tell me this is Venezuelan (and maybe worth like 10x what I paid for it...) that would be great.
