Description: This popular, attractive, and seldom encountered issue barely exists in the United States. The card being sold here lived is entire life from 1967 until a few weeks ago, IN Venezuela. Topps branched out, staring in 1959, to make and sell in VERY LIMITED quantities cards exclusively for the Venezuelan market. The offered card of Hall of Famer Minute Minoso is one of those cards. Unlike classic Topps cards made for the American market, "Venny" cards were made in inferior quality. That fact, combined with the climate, lack of holders, and lack of a collector base that preserved the items, leads to the extreme rarities of basically ALL Venezuelan Topps cards. Until just a few weeks ago, this card lived its entire life IN Venezuela. We brought it to the United States and promptly had it graded by SGC in July of 2024. All of the others graded 2.5-4 Unfortunately, SGC deemed this card as being cut a hair too short by the factory. I did not notice it, and this the grade surprised me. But this card is 100% original and 100% UNALTERED but the sloppy Venezuelan cutters back in 1967, apparently cut it very slightly undersized.
