Can someone identify any of the below cards? No idea what they are. My guess is Venezuelan stickers or something, no clue. Thanks!

I've done a lot of digging and never seen any of those designs before. Where did you find them?
 
The middle card stats are 2005....so guessing printed in 2006..... It's a start, if ya got the others from the same person safe to say they are in the same year..... Hope it helps
 
I got them in a large lot of Chipper Jones & Greg Maddux cards. There was an older Maddux Venezuelan RC sticker in the lot, which I sold for mega bucks... these I can not identify though
 
There is/was a Mexican baseball magazine called "Solo Beisbol", so it is possible the first one was clipped out of an issue of that. If that is the case, I'd love to track them down. I'll ask r2d2 (the Mexican card collector, not the droid) if he is familiar with it.

Also, I found that Google translates "colcomanias" directly as "stickers", which is great to know as I'd only known them to be called "estampas" or "estampitas", which is basically just "stamp" but was occasionally used interchangeably with "tarjetas" for "cards". That should help me search! ...which reminds me, I need to do a blog post on common hobby terms in all the countries that have cards.
 
Thanks so much for the info and looking into this for me. I am typically good at figuring things out, but these three baffle me.

The almanacs we have in print these days don't do a very good job documenting cards from outside North America- I think there are a few good internet resources but I'm not sure there is a one-stop resource. Doubt a book would be cost effective to produce.

This is where it is doubly frustrating that Beckett doesn't care and Sports Collectors Digest failed to comprehend the Internet. Whenever I can work out checklists for non-American sets, I post them to the SportsCardForum.com Inventory Manager, but it's really only designed as a collection inventory system and doesn't work well as a reference guide.
