Original card stock on 66's has a tint to it that makes the borders appear yellowed or faded, but they all have it... except one Frank Robinson card that found its way into an SGC 92 holder after it was (IMO) professionally cleaned & restored.
No finds of 1966 Venezuelan's to my knowledge... these cards all came from a single deal where I bought out the high-end inventory of a dealer... he had many of these cards in stock for quite a while.
What other nice ones have you seen and where? I own the majority of the PSA graded ones, especially the 6, 7 & 8's.
I remember a few weeks back on ebay there was a fellow selling some pretty nice 1966 Venezuelan commons. I picked up a pretty nice 1966 Venezuelan Palmer RC from elsewhere. I already posted on the Yahoo board you made up, but if anyone has an Orioles (especially Brooks) I'll be in the market.
eBay seller zipshere has been leaking out some very nice '66s over the last few years as well. I too have a very nice looking Demeter that I picked up from him some time ago. For whatever reason the '66s seem to show up in better condition overall than the other years, or it's just perception vs. reality.

I'm guessing the high -end dealer is David Levin, as all of the sudden his nm to nm/mt cards have been sold within the last two months.
thanx for sharing
