Most every other YuYu fan and their dog ALSO seem 
to be after cels of Karasu. Even before YuYu cels 
started to escalate in price, nice cels of Karasu 
went for 20000yen. (I use yen since I have yet to 
see a nice Karasu cel on a US site.) The semi-
decent one that was in the last Mandarake silent 
auction catalogue went for in the range of 
34000yen, if I remember right. (I was hard outbid.
After that, I don't pay tons of attention. ^_^;;)

(start beg)

The killer thing for me is, I won a cute little 
shot of him on Yahoo Japan in December of 2000 
for a whopping 2100yen. The deputy helping me 
somehow lost the cel AFTER it arrived to them. It 
is the only cel I have ever had lost.  T_T  But 
it is a widely used public deputy and so it's 
possible the cel was sent out in someone else's 
package. No one replied to my plea before, but if 
there is ANY CHANCE that someone remembers 
getting a "freebie" cel of Karasu from a major 
deputy sometime in late December 2000/early 
January 2001 PLEASE write to me so we could 
perhaps work something out. I still have the 
seller's scan to confirm the cel's ID. . . I was 
so unspeakably THRILLED to have won it and would 
love to be finally united with it. ;_;

And yes, I'm pointedly NOT listing the name of 
the deputy in question. I figure since I've used 
every deputy known to this Forum and then some, 
there is no danger people can make assumptions 
regarding who I'm talking about. ^_^ I'm not 
pointing fingers here. . . Only trying to solve 
an old mystery that left me minus a wishlist cel 
I had thought I had in the bag. . . T_T
