Topps Venezuelans

[Mariner]

I agree....I do think there was a demand for Venies at the National last week.

Just as a side note and not to make this a buy/sell, but I do have some dupe 1960 Venies if anyone would like a list....my email is brett8@cox.net

Don

[DBesse27]

Thanks Don, I would love to buy from you, but I only collect 1964 and 68 at this time.

[Thecafewha]

So happy to add this upgrade to my set. I'm down to needing the 3rd Checklist #192 to complete my 1962 set. I have lots to trade or can buy out right if anyone has an extra.

Willing to ideally trade for a needed/upgraded Mays item or, potentially sell out right.

Bought two of the last three cards I needed off eBay to kill the 64 set. A buddy bought the third at the national but haven't received it yet. Need a rose and yaz to kill the 66 set and four cards to kill the 62 set. Rick

New additions:

[TheNightmanCometh]

Lovin' this thread. Thanks for the pics, gentlemen! They look great!

[Jim65]

1962 Gil Hodges

[Rrrlyons]

Last card to kill the 64 vene set. Buddy bought it for me at the national showed up yesterday. Rick

[DBesse27]

Exactly a month since my last update. Excited about the clean backs on both of these. Love the Harper; he's a favorite of mine and I dig the big trophy.

[DBesse27]

BOOM!!



As a Yaz collector and Venezuelan collector, this card couldn't possibly be a bigger deal for me. I'm completely ecstatic! Ecstatic enough that I'm going to double post it!

Congrats Dan! Wow, what a pickup!

[Mariner]

Huge congrats, Dan, on your Venie Yaz!

[mrmopar]

The 2nd of two Venezuelan cards I sent out for signature (the first being Aaron Pointer 67) returned this past week. Jimmie Hall 1964 Topps & Venezuelan versions. Mr. Hall used to be quite the difficult signature, but seems he has resurfaced in recent years, including a Chris Potter signing and free TTM replies.

[Rrrlyons]

Finished the 64 set last week and picked up this rose this week to get me down to just the yaz card to kill the 66 set. Rick

[DBesse27]

Great stuff guys!

[DBesse27]

Nothing could compare with my last post, but here's one for my 68 set:

[Jim65]

Latest pickup, I only need one more card to complete my 1962 team set (#199 Elio Chacon).

Jim, I have a Elio Chacon for you. I submitted it to PSA for grading at the bulk rate. So it will take 2-3 weeks. But I'll hold it for you if you'd like.

Great cards, guys.

Well, I almost gave up on the 1967 MLB set this summer and came real close to selling, but I changed my mind and stuck with it and with the addition of these four pictured below, I have now reached the century mark. 50 cards to go to completion.

So youre the person who outbid me on that Swoboda. LOL

[DBesse27]

I recently bought a lot of six 1968 Venz Phillies. These are the 3 I'm keeping:



Very excited about the Allen. The White is a dupe, but it's an upgrade over my current PSA Auth. None of the 3 have any paper loss or glue residue on back.

Yup. I know it's kind of a tough card, but because of the condition I didn't figure it would end up that close to my max. Guess I was wrong. $69.00 for a final price. With prices like that, it's looks like it's going to be a long haul to close out the 50 I'll need to complete the set.

Dan, congrats on the Allen. Great card!

There are 4 Mets in the 1967 set, Ken Boyer is easily found, the other 3 (Ed Kranepool, Tommy Davis and Swoboda) are real tough. The search continues.

I've missed out on snagging Kranepool at least 2 or 3 times on Ebay. Since I started the set several years ago, I don't recall ever seeing the Tommy Davis come up on Ebay.

Believe it or not, a Davis sold about 6 months ago fora BIN of $10, I just missed it and it was the only one Ive seen in 5 years on ebay.

I bought my Kranepool for $40 from the same seller as the Swoboda,

[HRBAKER]

I have precious few but this one is probably my favorite:

Only $10! Now that stinks.

[Mark70Z]

If any of you Vene collectors pick up or have any Brooksie's available in PSA4 or above please let me know. I'm looking to upgrade if I have an opportunity.

Really enjoy this thread by the way!

Now up to 102 for the 1967 MLB set! 48 to go!

Now 103/150 for the 1967 MLB set! 47 to go!

[Jim65]

Used my eBay bucks to buy this super tough card. I love it, scotch tape, creases and all.

Congrats, Jim!

Thanks, I'm 99% positive this is the same one that sold for $10 6 months ago.

[DBesse27]

I was very happy to make a (nother) trade with our very own Rick Lyons, to land this beauty for my 68 set:

Now up to 105/150 for the 1967 MLB set.

Now up to 106/150 for the 1967 MLB set.

Why are all the Venezuelan cards in such bad shape ? Don't they have storage boxes or plastic sheets in South America ? Just wondering, does anybody know ?

[rats60]

I have been wanting this for a while

They were printed on inferior cardboard and collectors loved to tape or glue them into albums making them very difficult to find in nicer condition.

[kid4hof03]

Picked up this 1964 Ellie recently

[DBesse27]

Both the Howard and the 66 LL are tremendous!
