This is the highest SGC on file (there are only 3 of them total). Thank you and looking forward to getting to know you all.

You're a better man than me, that's quite an ambitious undertaking. I can't even complete the 1968 Venezuelan Cubs team set, Byron Browne has eluded me for several years.

Well if it helps, I don’t have him either. I figured trying to complete this set will take me several years, just happened to pull the trigger on the Nolan early. Think it’s a PSA 2 NQ?

I'm not into graded cards so I can't answer your question, but someone who sent in 1972 Venezuelans to PSA told me that they automatically graded them 1-Poor if they have any glue or paper residue from being removed from an album. It looks like your Ryan/Koosman has residue from being removed from an album, but I don't know how they would consider it on a 1968 Venezuelan card versus a 1972 Venezuelan sticker/stamp.

It's a nice card
 
The glue on the back is a PSA wildcard. Just not comfortable speculating what they might do with it grade wise. It's a nice looking card and an easy sell (when the day comes) with that clean a front and at least an evenly "glued" back with no paper loss. You could always send it in and pop it out of the holder if PSA doesn't give it a 2.
Several years would be an accomplishment - some of the mid and high #'s are INSANE to find at all in any condition.
I am working on a Venezuelan superstar collection for about 20 years now.

Thank you for the replies, he ships out tomorrow for PSA. I put 2 minimum and NQ. I hope that’s not too much to ask. Considering what it costs to get it done, I can’t imagine I will have a lot of opportunity to resend it back to them for grading. I have accumulated over 200 of the set of which 45 are graded 2 and above. This card would be a nice one to have as a 2!

You shouldn't get hit with an MK qualifier for the glue on the back. As Howard mentioned, there's no paper loss, which is great. In my experience, paper loss gets penalized more than glue residue stuck to the card. i wouldn't be surprised at all if it got a 2.

Great looking card regardless of the grade. Good luck, and be sure to share the results here.

Hey folks,

Been lurking and looking at all the amazing stuff folks have. Really great stuff here! I’m newer to the Venezuelans, but like y’all I’m hooked. Got a couple back in the mail today that I wanted to share with you fine folks. Looking forward to seeing more great cards!

Nice cards! My Lonborg is at PSA as we speak but it won't be as high as yours, thats a real nice example. I also dont have the Drysdale, he is a little high on eBay. Welcome
