As fun as this treasure is, I'm ready to let another CLAMP fan enjoy it and it's up for auction on Ebay. Auction ends 7/3/24 6:08pm PST - that's less than 2 days left! https://www.ebay.com/itm/156270325198
I wanted to share this neat item with you all! This is a shikishi style autograph board signed by Satsuki Igarashi, Nanase Ohkawa, Tsubaki Nekoi, and Mokona of CLAMP. CLAMP made their first US public debut at Anime Expo 2006 in Anaheim, Ca. And to my knowledge, it may have been the only time they made a public appearance in the US to date. Wiki’s report that “They were well received at the convention as fans completely filled all 6,000 seats present in the auditorium of the focus panel in addition to more on the waiting list.” I was there as a fan and recall the lengthy line and wait to get in. I was cosplaying as Sakura from the Season 2 opening of Card Captor Sakura that weekend and I was super excited to be there! During the panel the CLAMP Wonderland animation was shown. At the end of the panel a raffle to get into a signing room was held. Though I don’t recall the number of people who received signing tickets, they were very limited. Winners were escorted to a signing room, where they were given this event exclusive art board while waiting in line for the signing. Characters featured are Ichihara Yuuko from xxxHOLiC, Li Syaoran from Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and Chii from Chobits. :)
