New hobby discovery 1972 Venezuelan stamps- I've never heard of this happening before

From an album I seen for sale

That’s awesome! Someone made a 72 Jose Cardenal from a 1972 Venezuelan #166 Steve Hamilton and a 1975 Topps Jose Cardenal.

My message has produced differing thoughts across multiple message boards.

I've long known Gilberto to be involved with them in some way, now I question whether he was responsible for the re-issue altogether. This makes way more sense than the original creator reissuing the cards 37 years later.

I must revert my opinion to what I originally believed, the cards issued in 2009 are counterfeits produced with the intent to deceive. They are worthless.

That is ingenious how someone solved the missing non existent #87 Jose Cardenal card/sticker from the album, they took a #166 Steve Hamilton and cut up and possibly skinned a 1975 Topps Jose Cardenal card and created a Frankenstein 1972 Venezuelan Jose Cardenal card/sticker by gluing the Cardenal photo over the Hamilton photo and the Cardenal nameplate over the Hamilton name.

Don't forget, it's also the 'pursed lips fisheye between his first and last name' variation as well!!!!!
