Anyone needing blank shikishii?

Since Con season is upon us, I thought I would ask if anyone needed some blank shikishii boards. These are ideal for artist signatures and are commonly used for this purpose.

Here's a sample of one that I purchased today -

Before I go out and buy a bunch at the local Japanese store, I was wondering if there would be any interest from other Beta members for the items. I will try to look for plain white boards, but depending on their supply, there were some other white boards(one was white with a design of a light green twig) that might work as well. Each package will range in price from $3-$4(depending on how many shikishii boards are in the pack), and shipping shouldn't change too much due to quanity.

Please let me know if you are interested, how many you'd like and if you have a preference for a pattern or not(I promise I won't get the "Happy Wedding" variety).

Either that, I or I could sell them to you at AX for the standard $10/piece that they were charging last year

Shikishii boards are used for signatures of Japanese artists, movie stars, etc. Basically, you hand them a blank board, and they sign their name and it gives them enough room to make you a small sketch.

Something like this -
