Hope this isn't too off topic..
I've read earlier threads/posts from some of the more learned amongst you guys that there's no such thing as a tategoi tosai for sale. Supposedly, all tategoi, regardless of size/age, are in breeders' ponds. The minute they're sold, they're technically no longer tategoi.
If this is true, why do I see so many tosai gosanke selling for USD5-10k? They're from reputable breeders and far from finished, so Baby Champion potential does not factor into the price. What I infer from this thread (from some of the posters anyway) is that the chances of getting a
good (not necessarily a GC) adult from a tosai is next to zero. So does this mean that buying an expensive high (top) grade tosai may merely increase the chances of a good (again, not necessarily GC) adult from 1 in a million to perhaps, er, 2 in a million?
