Many of the 1959 Topps Venezuelan cards, maybe more than half, have Printed In USA rather than Impreso En Venezuela. The first series is easy to tell because the Venezuelans will have a gray back and the regular Topps will have a white back. The high number 1959 Venezuelans with Printed In USA on the back are more difficult to tell because both they and the regular Topps cards have gray backs. ETA, that 1959 Pignatano has a gray back, which means it has to be a 1959 Venezuelan. All regular 1959 Topps cards from the first series 1-110 have white backs.
