The Soroyama piece was one of our few "second rights" pieces. Meaning it was
NOT done originally for us. We got it from a stock catalog. If we were to use
it again, we would have to pay again. Being now in a different state, I don't
know Jim's thinking on Maria card art, but I imagine that if there were a card
of her it would be new art by one of "our" artists.
