Awesome, Ryan! Can't wait to see your new additions! I picked up 5 recently, all HOFers, including a 68 Torre. I'll post pics soon.

Thanks! I actually picked up the '68 Torre recently as well. I'll post pictures of all 3 once I get the other two.

I look forward to seeing your pics! :)

My primary collecting focus is collecting every Yaz card I can get my hands on and a secondary project of mine is 1964 and 68 Venezuelans. Here are the 5 latest Venies I've picked up. Excited about all of them, but especially the first one with Yaz

I misspoke when I said earlier they were all HOFers. I forgot one was Lonborg. Still a good one for my 68 Venie Red Sox team set. Makes 7 for that team set, 6 of which will soon reside in PSA slabs.

When did you get that Torre?

DBesse27 04-20-2016 06:05 PM

I got those four 68's in late February.

Oh, for a second I thought you might have got it from enigma off of ebay. I was looking to get the card from him but he sold it to someone else, thought maybe it was you. I turned around and spent $7 more getting it from someone else. Did you get them from a private seller or somewhere else online?

I got them from eBay seller enigma. You're right.

Got a couple higher grade ones handy. No sign of glue.

They weren't glued into albums. The thought is that they may have been issued with albums so that they could be glued in. I'd say that the vast majority of mine don't have any glue damage. I find the glue issue more prevalant on the 64s and 66s than I do on the earlier issues. It wouldn't surprise me if they were issued in a different manner.
