Psst! For Suetsugu sensei's listing, the autographs include Suetsugu sensei, Hosoya (Arata), and Miyano Mamoru (Taichi), not Takagaki Ayahi.

It's too bad you don't have more artists participating, especially ones to whom great success has been given.

I think the artists go to the charity, not the other way around.

In Japan, it's pretty rare to get a sketch from any artist. There are the occasional few that draw at special events or Comiket (plus the handful of times a year where a manga weekly/monthly publication will hold a contest for something drawn), but, still, it's a rare thing. We're a bit spoiled in the US - artists are usually more comfortable sketching for guests at conventions. It's one reason why many of the larger conventions have Japanese attendees and why some Japanese travel agencies will offer special travel packages.
That's one reason why some of these auctions will go for several hundred, if not thousand, dollars (though I also imagine that there is a special tax write-off for the Japanese). And, many of these works, even older ones, have many dedicated fans. I can think of a few Bronze fans who will be bidding on that item (and one already has).
