If you check out the social media of some artists you will see where they will be signing. I know Arita will be at the Ocala comic con coming up in June. So no, they are not Japan only events.
I’ve been trying that, but can’t find any for some of the lesser known artists, like Miki Tanaka for example. I’m assuming this really only applies to artists like Sugimori, Arita, and a few others?
Also, thanks for the tip, I’ll be seeing if I can get a card signed from him ![]()
Here are mine
I love the Saitou one so much as it has the Pikachu illustration and it’s also on one of my favorite cards of all time ![]()


Let me know if you do find Miki Tanaka, would love a 1st edition Slowpoke signed.
I follow Arita, hope he comes to the UK at some point.
Interesting tidbit: The day before the Ishihara GX sold, a card signed by Ishihara sold on eBay for $200 best offer. The card looks like it was in HP/PL condition and the ink has something odd going on, but that’s a data point for his autograph now!

This is the 2nd Ishihara signature i’ve sold.
The first one was 3 months before the “Ishihara GX” popped up on ebay, and it sold for around the same price.
And yea, the ink looked to be deteriorating / discoloring the card in some way. Still a great signature!
Does anybody here have a Himeno signed card?

This one looks like Ishihara. You can see the T. and make out Ishihara with the dot where the i should be and the lines where the h’s are. I’m posting some examples in just a minute!
Tsunekazu Ishihara:

**Kagemaru Himeno:**All signed at Worlds 2006
Ken Sugimori, Takumi Akabane, Hironobu Yoshida:(left to right)
Autographs are one of my favorite parts of the hobby because it connects the cards I’ve grown up with, either through collecting or playing, with the people directly responsible for making them. I have much more (which can be said about a lot of collectors here) but here’s a taste with a few good examples!
Show them all!
Side note, does anyone have any Keiji Kinebuchi sigs before he died?
Does anyone have a signed Mewtwo Black Star Promo 10? The late Chris Rush one, would love to see a picture.

That is a sexy sig

Unfortunately no, I purchased it raw from @pokemonmaster556
Hello guys, found that forum looking for answers about one of my card
I’m wondering the name of the person that signed this card?
It was signed at Worlds 2006 by another employee which was signing there along Ishihara
Thanks a lot
