About the Venetians...
While I am surprised that there wasn't even one Venetian key in the RR when it got to you, these weren't as loaded with them as some in the past have been. I try to balance out the keys in the RRs so that there's something of interest to everyone, but I also weight them a heavier toward the collecting interests of the first person if I'm aware of what they want (i.e. I always check the collecting interests page
http://www.strikeguide.com/rkcollectors.htm before sending them out). There have been some RRs that were a little heavy with Venetians as they headed out the door (if you consider 30-40 Venetians "a little heavy"
)
Speaking of the RRs, as you know, I've sent out a "dividend" shipment to participants at the end of the previous five RRs. I think what I'm going to do with RR6 & RR7 when they return home is treat them exactly the same way as all other participants do -- go through them, find what I need, replace the openings with keys not already in the RR, and then......start two new RRs , only with larger starting quantities than I've done before. It may not be 'til the end of February, but that's what I have in mind at the moment (as always, subject to change).
