A 1964 Topps Venezuelan Update: Cubbies!



Still working on some of the lower hanging fruit for 1964 Venezuelan Topps cards, here's a lot of Chicago Cubs.

Some pretty gnarly creases in there, but you can't be too picky on these.
Mr. Cub himself makes an appearance, nice to find a copy of this card.
OUCH - yeah, that's quite the paper loss on the back. I will want to replace that one at some point, but for now it is beautiful.

    Oh man! When you find a replacement for Mr. Cub, please keep me in mind for the dearly loved Venezuelan beauty!

      you bet - I might replace that team card too, since there's a notch in it - a couple of the more heavily creased ones might get upgraded at some point.
      What are your feelings on 1965 OPC? I just upgraded a Cub from that set (Ellsworth).

    Oh mid-60's Cubs? That is some definite low hanging fruit right there (from a talent level perspective). That's a really nice find though!

      Ha - yes, I suppose so.

      I've purchased most of the lots from the same guy, buying them in bulk lots has been really cost effective. I'd say the average per card is roughly 3 bucks. I've got a few more lots to post, but I'm taking it easy for the foreseeable future on this set as most singles I can find now that I need are $10 and up (way up).
