Should I risk buying a card located in Venezuela?

The card is pretty rare and relatively cheap. My concern is buying from a seller in Venezuela (as in Hugo Chavez land)...feedback is 99.6%. The whole deal is less than $20.

Should I just pull the pin and get the card or pass?

    I have bought from him in the past and the item ships quickly and out of Miami usually.

    I'm five for five with this guy. Takes a bit longer, but has always arrived.

    We are talking about 20.00 here. I'd go for it regardless of the countries politics.


    Good for you.

    Ive bought many cards from So. America. with no problems.

    The last group I bought was about 8-10 of the rare 1931/32 N561 Bigott cards.

    Only thing to remember is it may take up to 40 days for shipping.

    My one worry on Venezuelan sellers is they may not have the standards for card shipping that we expect. I had one seller tape a card ('62 Topps Venezuelan common) to protective cardboard. image

    I agree.

    What was the point of the cardboard for protection if you are going to put tape on the card???
