I agree. Compared to other 1960s work, it's logical that the 1967 "Topps" series cards were unlicensed copies of the USA issue. Once the Topps cards were on the street, a Venezuelan printer could've copied enough fronts to fill out a MLB series to combine with their Retirado and local series. All three could've been sold during the 1967-68 winter league, since a number of MLB players spent the offseason there.
