Found your post about the green Bill Virdon (#132) and can confirm it <i>does</i> come from the 1972 Venezuelan MLB series.<br /><br />They made two sets that year, one of Venezuelan pros and another of American players, both numbered separately. Your green-border version is from the MLB set. (And the #5 from that set was Jim Fregosi.)Matthew Gliddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058637926401334906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365437537394666236.post-10262121693305280432011-05-16T17:48:42.995-04:002011-05-16T17:48:42.995-04:00What made me think that is long ago you posted a 7...What made me think that is long ago you posted a 72 Venezuelan that looked nothing like my 72 Venezuelan Virdon card. I made a post about it because they didn't match. Dayf commented that mine was a sticker and yours was a stamp. I left it with that. Now I'm confused and must go find my Standard Catalog and quit going from memory.AdamEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107347958456472504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365437537394666236.post-80389476441984928792011-05-16T17:31:09.319-04:002011-05-16T17:31:09.319-04:00If you include the whole Caribbean, I know of 3 fr...If you include the whole Caribbean, I know of 3 from that year.<br /><br />1972 Puerto Rican stamps<br />1972 Venezuelan MLB stamps (link above)<br />1972 Venezuelan League stamps (link above)<br /><br />Puerto Rico's set includes Mike Schmidt's pre-rookie, so that's a biggie for Phillie or Schmidt collectors. (Don't have the Puerto Rican #5, so haven't profiled that set yet.)<br /><br />Some guides call these sets "stickers" and others "stamps," but none of them have gummed backs. I went with stamps for internal consistency, since other 1970s issues from Topps DO feature self-stick backs and people know them as stickers.Matthew Gliddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058637926401334906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365437537394666236.post-60955408435992593872011-05-16T16:50:44.983-04:002011-05-16T16:50:44.983-04:00Isn't there another set of 72s?
