Some Highly Valuable (yet worthless) Nate Colbert Cards

[Nate Colbert 17]

I fully understand your jealousy about these cards!

Here is to the non HOF Player Collectors!

Thanks for showing those! Anything Venezuelan gets a nod of appreciation from me, seeing how tough they are to find. Great condition!

in all seriousness, those are some pretty badass "cards". why is the stamp only a "1" though?

Scott, as usual, enjoyed seeing more of the collection.

You should really post more of your Colbert stuff more often.

I would assume it is a the centering, both top/bottom and left/right. It appears to be slightly diamond cut. But I would guess it has some kind of gum residue on the back from being a stamp probably taken out of a book of some type.

The centering wouldn't lower it to a one, but you are probably right about the back. In the 60's and 70's, most Venezuelan collectors pasted their cards into albums that were sold along with the cards/stamps. There are a lot of Venezuelan cards with damaged backs that kill their grades.

The back of the card has some damage from where it had been in an album.

2 thumbs up on the Venezuelan stamp. Condition on these cards are generally overlooked on these cards because of what they are. The Ryan would sell for about $900 in the same condition.
