Finding your favorite player’s cards from foreign sets is always a treat. There have been plenty of products that have been released internationally but the cards I am talking about are the cards that are released locally in a foreign country. Topps, Upper Deck and Panini have major releases that are sold overseas exclusively, so finding your favorite player in those sets is cool but when I can find what essentially is a broder card it seems like the card is even more special.
I picked up this card
from a Venezuelan dealer and it is exactly what you would expect from a small unknown card company. Horrible picture, no card number or set name and in the case of
this card, a smudge on the back near the top that someone tried to wipe it off.
I wasn’t sure how to
catalog it in my Excel spreadsheet, so I asked the dealer and he said all he
knows is that it came out in 1999 or 2000 and that was it, so I have it listed as
a 1999/00 Venezuelan unknown.
