1966 Topps Bob Uecker - is this really a Venzuelan?

It's labeled by SGC as one but the front looks as bright as a regular Topps card. The white on the back is very bright as well.

    I believe the Venezuelans has Spanish writing on back.
    Looks Regular Topps to me.

    It does look awfully bright. If you buy it and it's a regular it would be hard to convince ebay it's not as described. I wonder what SGC would say?

    That's the regular Topps 'with trade statement'.

    I'm inclined to think yes. Neither Topps nor O-Pee-Chee had that deep a red/purple on the reverse. I also wouldn't discount the idea that the white balance has been tweaked.

    They don’t, or they’d be easier to spot. They do have a deep, dark “salmon” colored back

    I guess I misremembered what the back looked like on my 66 Topps Uecker card. Mine is definitely the lighter shade salmon on the back.

    It's a legit 1966 Venezuelan, they have burnt orange backs compared to the regular Topps light peach/salmon backs.

    1966 Venezuelan 4th Series cards 284-370 have the copyright line removed but the first three series 1-283 have the copyright line the same as the regular 1966 Topps cards.

    This is all very valuable information, as I've been keeping an eye out for a Venezuelan Uecker as I'd like to get at least one card representing "oddball/unique" cards in my set (desert shield, etc). Being from Milwaukee the Braves had moved to Atlanta in 1966, so no matter who I chose they wouldn't really be representing Milwaukee. Spahn was with the Giants while Mathews and Aaron were in Atlanta. Uecker may be the most affordable of the group, and most connected to my hometown. Sorry for any rambling...was just at an open bar wedding. LOLZ
