| Cultural differences
I think we often times forget how cultural differences affect our perceptions of how "things should be".
These mamoth jumbo gosankes of this quality are raised for one purpose and one purpose only, To win GC, the ultimate being the All Japan show. With this in mind, although "possible", it is unlikely that the breeder is going to sell a potential AJ show Gc to anyone that isn't going to show it. Afterall, a win at the AJ Show is advertising that you can buy. Also, keep in mind that there is a limited "window" of time that a specimen like this has. When the time is right, the time is right and associated risks will be accepted.
