Nice!  And the big pan with Karasu is also an 
absolute stunner.  (But you knew that...) 
Congratulations.

Yeah, the OP 3 was definately overpriced.  
I recall when I just missed an OP 3 cel for sale 
on this site: it went unsold for months at $400 
and finally went during a 50% off sale.  It 
wasn't a closeup facial like this, but it was 
nicely centered and had more feathers.  Surely 
this one wasn't 10x better than that one.

Mi ... mi ... mi ...

Christmas time is here once again
Cel collectors are throwing some yen
It's that time of year
When credit lines 
Get stretched to their limits ...
YJ bids 
Go berserk at the last minute ...
So beware ... buy ahead!

Sorry ... I sing in a choral society, and the 
lyrics get tangled up in my head while I watch 
auctions tick down.
