One of the great things I love about this hobby is that there are a lot of wonderful people out there who are willing to help their fellow collectors out. Instead of trying to buy everything, they will step aside and allow others to win. And that's really how I ended up with this shikishi.

Prior to the Fanime Charity Auction, I ran into a collector that I greatly respect in the Artist Alley. We had both seen the two Yoshimatsu shikishi at the Fanime booth in the Dealer's Hall and intended to go for them. After discussing it, we came up with an agreeable plan, and both of us stuck to it. And both of us won the shikishi that we were after.
