2023 Hartford Regional Championships: Hitoshi Ariga

For those unaware, the artist for the Hartford Regional Championships will be Hitoshi Ariga

You can find the info as it’s added here: Overload Events - Hartford Regionals May 19-21, 2023!

I love this artist, and while I unfortunately can’t make it to Hartford, if I could go I’d want to get Archie’s Ace in the Hole signed.

If you’re going to Hartford, what do you plan on getting signed?

If I could go it would be my favorite Karen card ever:

If I had the card:

However, I feel that the All night party seems like a perfect card for a signature having ample empty space for doodle and signature, and its cheap!

Cheers!

What a perfect opportunity for the infamous trio:



Just kidding, I would go with the card that got me collecting Pokémon again

All-Night Party would be my first pick. Next would be one of these Jumbos. Most likely Mewtwo.

Not that I’ll ever be able to go to one in N. America but wouldn’t ever want to choose full arts to get signed. I unironically like the normal Choy artwork and then the Pikachu is pretty nice and relatable choice.

I get FOMO pretty easily, but never as much as these regional panelist/auto signing threads

I ended up getting sick and was pre-selected to be in Group 6. I alerted the organizers I wouldn’t be able to go so I’m hoping someone got that extra text to be a part of it. :slight_smile: I look forward to hearing and seeing people’s experiences. Miss a lot of folks already since the last event.
