I've noticed that Dave has been bumping up the prices on those Venes. He's probably figured out that he's a pretty good hub to find them. I know I paid more than I wanted for the cards I purchased from him, but they are hard to find so I was willing to pay it.

I contacted John Rumierz to see if he can be of any additional help, so thanks for that tip!

Are you a member of the Topps Venezuela Yahoo Group? I haven't been involved much there, but it's another good place to do some networking.

Yeah, I think Dave has bumped up the cost quite a bit because those are the last VZ's he has with no new suppliers in sight. His main supplier in Venezuela, a gentleman named Enrique, now sells through eBay and directly whenever he flies up the the states. He's become my main resource and I mostly buy offline from him.

As for John, I've been eyeing some of his rarer Latin issues. He definitely has many unique cards all the way around.

I have joined Yahoo group and it has a lot of great and expert info there.

Thanks for the note and I'll keep you posted on any Twins I might come across.

I went to a card show yesterday and had an unexpected turn of events!!! I found almost all the commons I needed to complete the set!!!! I reached 90% and am very confident I can finish it in the near future!!

Great to hear and big congrats.

Do you ever see any really old Venezuelan cards from the 20s, 30s and 40s at these shows? The oldest I've ever seen for sale are from the 30s but can't recall the name of the manufacturer.
