Any 1966 Venezuelan Experts out there?

Bought a lot of very nice 65-67 cards yesterday. A handful of them have the very dark "burt orange" backs that I have read are Venezuelan. As far as I can tell, though, they're on normal card stock.

Anyone know whether there are just very dark colored regular TCGs from this set? Or am I sitting on some decent cards here?

    The front border would appear distinctly beige on a 1966 Venezuelan card, and the stock would be different as well, it would have a more "sandstone" type grain to the stock on the back. The orange would be a deep burnt pinkish-orange color.
  • Venezuelan vs. Topps - whiter border is Topps

  • Darker card on bottom is Venezuelan. I have a graded copy as well, but interesting, of the Venezuelan
    Brock cards, only the 66 has the TCG printed in USA. I assume PSA is correct........

    Many Venezuelans have the USA print line, I don't remember all of the years that include this feature though (and sometimes it's hit or miss as to which cards have the line and which don't).

    Here's a '64:

    Are there Venezuelan unopened packs? I don't know if I have ever even seen picture of a wrapper.
