I'm not sure, whether Madam Anne did the long  journey to China....

would be another reason, that they won't dump it like  Brahin.

You are right Martin, I did not go to China. 
Fukang was brought out of  China by a small group of people and I got a few 
slices from one of them at a  price comparable to Esquel.
Yes, I saw that picture too. Fukang is huge but  also weathered and I am told 
the whole thing will not be usable for  slicing.
Finally, yes Fukang was available in Tucson, but only a few dealers  had any, 
and in moderate amounts, I could not say that the Show was flooded with  
Fukang. In fact I saw a lot more Brenham, including of course Steve's Great New  
Paperweight.   ;-)

Meow to you too!!
