If you know where I can get any of these please let me know. I'd prefer to trade, but I'd be willing to pay if I had to.
Usagi print
Usagi/Groo print - Does Sergio ever have these at California conventions?
Stan Sakai Groo insert card - I'd prefer unsigned.
Dark Horse Christmas Card - I've never seen one for sale
Some sort of postcard advertising an art show

I've seen Sergio multiple times since the signing of these and he's never had any available at the shows I've attended.

Oh well, thanks for the info. I contacted Mark Evanier and he had no solution for me. He was the closest person I could think of, considering Sergio does not have any contact information. Next time I'll choose collectibles over bills.

This is the image that Sergio did for The Sakai Project. About 5 images from that book were made into large prints when we did that signing at Melt Down Comics in Hollywood. I know there was a print of Bill Morrison's art and mine. Melt Down would not have them, but Sergio might. I don't even know if I have one.

Well, if Daniel asks Sergio for one maybe he could get one for me too.

I'd pay for it of course.

Does anyone on the Dojoboard own one of these? I'm not asking if you want to sell it, I just want to know how rare it is. I would love to put it in a poster frame and hang it in my room. I tried to figure out where these we given away and had little success. I couldn't ever navigate the Polish publisher's website. Yes I'm an idiot.

This poster was printed for my first visit to Poland. I did signings in 5 or 6 cities. This is probably at an Empik store--a chain selling books, music, DVDs and other entertainment stuff--in Warsaw. I signed at about 3 of them and the first 30-50 people in line received a free poster. I remember talking to a guy who said he stood in line for 8 hours waiting for me! I'm glad he got a poster.

Sounds like they're pretty rare. Thanks for the info.

Would you say these are one of the nicer Usagi collectibles you have? I'm thinking about opening a Facebook account to try and hunt one down. There has to be somebody on the FB DojoBoard that wants to get rid of theirs. Right?
Would you mind sending me a picture that better represents it's size? If not, that's cool. We should put together a picture gallery here on the DojoBoard of all the Official Usagi Yojimbo collectibles. I'm sure Steve has all the different collections down.
Maybe I'll just look for the smaller litho with the same design. Oh we'll, enough rambling, time to go grocery shopping.

Am I right in thinking the Xmas card and the art gallery card are my photos? I think I've seen one other copy of that Xmas card sold over the years, but that's it.

That is awesome!! You stole my idea.
The image used for the poster is one of my all time favorites.

You would be correct. I've never seen those other than in your collection. That is why I was suggesting a
Collectibles Gallery. There has to be many items that I've never seen.

It wouldn't be a bad idea, something to put in the Wiki or similar.
