4's are definitely tough. The one I just subbed is probably the nicest one I've had in hand, so I can only hope for a 4! I'll definitely let you know how it turns out.

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.
