| Is the Showa at 11 o'clock in the bowl with the Kohaku from Dainichi? (If so, I'd sure like to see a close-up of it.)
BTW, when somebody says they are looking for a future show fish, I have the idea that they want to be competitive for a major award in a larger size. It can be a lot easier to see a fish as likely competitive in a small or mid-size range. Only rarely is a photo so good that a 'future show fish' (i.e., competitive in larger size) recommendation can be made. I think you should give more weight to your dealer's recommendation between the three. But, if any of these are likely to be competitive for a major award in a larger size (even at any of the significant U.S. shows), they will be costly. |
