momotaro's spring auction

[dick benbow]

Was looking at some of the gosanke that are being offered at Momotaro's spring tosai sale. Imagine Brian May try and be there, maybe Mike S? Sure would like to
see some pics and comments on the koi auction.

Your thoughts on showa #9?

Keokoi is there right now as we speak, so we should be expecting alot of pics of the Auction. So stay tuned!!!

[dick benbow]

good! It's an interesting event. I've never been to his place and often thought I'd like to see it in person but pictures and some dialog will due for now!

I,m in Narita and mike is still in Okayama, I will be back on friday so possible to post some pictures perhaps on saturday of the auction.

I heard they set record prices at this auction. What that means, I don't think I want to know . My picks were Showa #5, 19 and Kohaku #81, 57.

glad someone else liked #9 showa!

[aquitori]

No. 9 is nice but I like No. 3. No. 9 has a pretty interesting head pattern, but I would like to see this Showa after 2 years.

My picks would be Kohaku #1,3,4 and Showa #10.

I heard that Showa #2 was the koi that set a new record for Jumbo Tosai.

I was informed that it went for 2.8 Million Yen! All the kois offered inthe 3 varieties were swept clean. Somebody had an early Christmas in Japan.
