So perfect you could eat off of it!

Kristi Yamaguchi ice skating autographed Gartlan commemorative plate, ltd. edit 950

To Kristi, who kept reaching for the stars.

At ShopWiki, there's a saying by which we all live: you're nobody until you're honored on a commemorative plate or an iron-on heat transfer. By this credo, Queen Elizabeth and the boys of 98 Degrees might be the most important people in the known galaxy, but I digress.

The point is, despite Kristi Yamaguchi's skating medals and recent perfect score with Mark Ballas on "Dancing with the Stars", she only matters to us because of this little baby at left.

No matter how much Len Goodman wants to eat her up ("It was like a buffet — a tasty morsel there, a delicious move over there. Some clever choreography, yum, yum. It was a smorgasbord of dance. I loved it.”), without a gaudy dose of gold leaf, she'd be nothing.

Thankfully for Kristi, she has indeed been immortalized in acrylic paint and glaze for all the world to enjoy. We here at the office have already bought two (they're flanking our Pete Rose collection) in preparation for her inevitable big win.

Stay strong, Kristi, we're all rooting for you (unless a Mario commemorative plate comes out between now and then, in which case we're in a bit of a pickle)!

The ultimate in epicurean hedonism would be to eat soup out of them.
