This incredibly rare complete 1967 Venezuelan Retirado series of 50 features members of the Baseball Hall of Fame and popular retired Latin stars. Cards have a black & white photo image on a blue background. From the front the majority of the cards present EX overall with most appearing to be in the VG to EX-MT category. About 40% have some type of problem to the back not unusual for this foreign issue where it was common practice to glue the cards into albums or scrapbooks (mostly along one edge). This is the first complete set of this scarce issue we have ever handled. The players are:
