As far as the culture goes the tradition of mfg albums to paste cards into goes back to the prewar issues of all sports and nonsports. I collect boxing and soccer cards too and the Latin American cards from candy issuers and many tobacco companies are made with albums. We simply don't do that here. The few albums I can think of like Leaf were made with slots to tip in the cards. The only glue in albums I can think of were a few topps special issues like the bazooka stickers or the FB 4 on 1 from 1969.

From my experiences, the toughest by far is the 1959 Creme backs followed by the 1959 Gray backs, 1968, and the 1960. After that, I have found them relatively easy and available. Here are a few of my favorites (the 59 is a gray back):
 Not a bad scan... It actually looks like that.  The Venezuelan is on the right. The other is a poorly trimmed U.S. issue I have to upgrade at some point...

No Ashburn's.
As far as issue, they definitely came in wax packs with gum. I know people who lived in Caracas and remember opening packs of them. No full wrapper or unopened pack has ever surfaced, but finding remnants of the pack on the cards is not overly uncommon. Albums were only issued for '64, '66 & '67.

A lot of questions emerge about distribution:
1.) I've handled many Topps Venezuelan cards over the past ten years and have never come across wax staining. 2.) Unless they borrowed U.S. packaging, it seems very unlikely that at least a wrapper or panel of a display box has not survived. That makes me think the traditional 24 pack wax box may have not been employed here. Perhaps cello packs? 3.) Why were albums released for some sets and not others? 4.) Were packs limited only to Venezuelan major cities? 5.) Could finding "remnants of the pack" be confused with scrapbook residue? Last edited by Orioles1954; 04-24-2015 at 08:10 AM.
